    MMS? Now that’s a term I haven’t heard in 15 years. American texting is so weird.

      Betweeen newer androids it’s RCS now and between Apple devices it’s imessage so it’s only going between the two because Apple refuses to bridge the gap because people are so used to that setup. However now a lot of my friends, coworkers and neighbors have Telegram now so don’t need to worry about the specific device.
