The last paragraph is the relevant part of the article: "What will be interesting to see is whether users will migrate back to the default messages app for inter-platform communication. For instance, I’ve preferred my WhatsApp experience for sharing high-res messages with my iPhone-using peeps. But I also think they likely want to go back to Apple Messages to chat with me, their one Android-using best friend, where they already chat with everyone else. We’ll see how it lands when iOS 18 hits iPhones this fall." -- "Manus manum lavat."
