If you want to do a group video call, it doesn’t work.” You can’t even like the messages anymore, it just says, “Like as text.” It’s an odd experience. When people put me in an iMessage group with a bunch of their friends, it kind of breaks, it’s kind of a weird experience. “If people switch to something like WhatsApp or another service it’s easier for their friends to go back and forth between an iPhone or an Android. The WhatsApp CEO was also asked about the ongoing feud between Apple and Facebook, specifically in regards to a comment from Mark Zuckerberg in which he stated that Apple is “one of Facebook’s biggest competitors.”Ĭathcart explained that it’s obviously in Apple’s best interest to “have everyone using an iPhone” because “the messaging experience works better on iMessage if everyone else has an iPhone.” This interview was conducted before Apple rolled out a new page on its website showing privacy labels for its applications in one location, but Cathcart’s argument would likely be the same regardless.
Our label says we have payment information, iMessage’s doesn’t, what’s the difference? Why does ours say and theirs doesn’t?”
Apple has payment features and you can send a friend money through iMessage. But even there… Not to use this metaphor, but what’s apples to apples? We have payment information because we have an optional feature for you to use payments in India, if you want to. It’s on their website if you can find it.
“You don’t see a label for iMessage when you download it because you don’t download it, it’s on your phone to begin with. WhatsApp has been a vocal about this privacy feature in the past, and Cathcart reiterated that WhatsApp believes there are differences in standards between third-party apps and Apple apps: Cathcart also touched on WhatsApp’s upcoming privacy policy changes during the interview.Ĭathcart appeared on the Big Technology Podcast and was asked right off the bat about privacy labels in the App Store. In a new interview this month, WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart talked in detail about what it’s like competing with iMessage as well as Facebook’s ongoing feud with Apple.
