I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch.
I for one know I will face problems regarding group chats with friends and family on IOS, I will lose out on iCloud+ features, I will have to buy a replacement for my HomePod, I will need to replace apple home, etc.
How did anyone else here who has made such a switch replace or solve these issues?
The issue is more social, friends and family have refused to leave iMessage just for me.
That’s to be expected. I’d just tell them where they can find you or fallback to SMS, and if they want, they can reach out. Everybody’s situation is different, though.
