> The reason for its success is clear: Android and iPhone customers desperately want to be able to chat together with high quality images/video, encryption, emojis, typing status, read receipts, and all modern chat features.

As an iPhone customer I have zero interest in your app, mate. I use iMessage with my wife and my parents and some close friends.

I use signal with other friends who don't use iPhones, or group chats where it's mixed use. It's really not difficult.

Trying to insinuate that iPhone users want you to keep playing the role of the mole in messaging whack-a-mole is misleading at best.
