I don't see any practical difference between whatsapp and imessage. iphone has so many apis such as callkit that make apps that use them feel like first parties. I think the only real difference is that you can use the built-in messages to read and send sms... which nobody uses anymore.

This has nothing to do with android. iphone comes with an app store and that app store contains lots of messenger applications. Users overwhelmingly download one or several messenger applications from the store and use them instead of imessage. What's the similarity to IE here? IE had over 90% of browser share at some point.

It is less of an issue because of market share. MS crushed Netscape with IE. imessage is not used in the EU

The Spanish right wing establishment isn't comfortable when not confidently in power, either by directly being in power, or by being sure whoever is in power wouldn't dare to change course on certain policies.

Could say exactly the same about the socialist party. Or any other party, really.

Also: the party that you call right wing is as progressive as the socialist party. They have never done and will never do any change that is not progressive. Last time they were in power they raised taxes, did nothing to the homosexual marriage, abortion, and domestic violence laws, etc etc.

That's a bit of an over-simplification of what actually happened these weeks. Or a tremendous over-simplification, rather.

Not that I really care about the outcome (two parties could've won, and they are both progressive, so I will be unhappy either way), but the methods have crossed a few red lines.

So basically you are making my own argument: we use tons of different apps. What would be the selection screen useful for?

Going further: if we download different messengers, it stands to reason we can download different browsers, therefore if safari is the most used it's because it's the one we choose.

Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages and accents can be removed and the result is perfectly understandable.

It always was political. Only that the politics of Twitter changed and now they do not like them.

"revert the EU to its original purpose, before it was taken over by overreaching bureaucrats: A free trade area."

That seems completely reasonable.
