@fleg @froztbyte @jwz Yes, the "Only" allowable SMS app which also happens to replace SMS with rich and secure instant messaging, as long as you own an Apple device.
I believe Apple play the Privacy card as it's their best excuse to reduce intraoperatively and maintain their lockin/walled garden under the disguise of "we care about your privacy" (and don't want to compete on features, UX an especially price)

@fleg @froztbyte @jwz There's also the possibility that Apple is doing this for themselves, for example, I bet iMessage still has access to all contacts?

@MJBrune @d3Xt3r Overall I understand your opinion and based on your needs Windows is probably the best solution.

I do however, disagree with the statement about the Linux community. Firstly, if a device doesnt work "out of the box", the manufacturer is able to provide a driver for their device, or submit the driver directly to the kernal via a merge request so that the "out of the box" scenario does work.

When that hasn't happened the community WILL help you, this help is NOT a "flaw"!
