![]() ![]() The same structure should be set up for video calls. But, on Android, there are many sms apps a person can choose to be their default sms app. Now, I’m not necessarily talking about making all the video apps obsolete. They all need to come up with a universal standard for video calling. They can even invite Microsoft, for ***** and giggles (Seriously, their control of Skype makes them a serious player). So, I propose that the major carriers sit down with both Apple and Google. What happened? A standard was developed whereas I no longer had to worry about whether or not the person I was texting had the same phone company as I. I get that there is a reason for this, but we had the same problems in the early days of text messaging not too long ago. It just works because connecting voice calls is a universal standard. It doesn’t even matter if its wireless or landline. It does not matter, what OS that individual is using. It does not matter what kind of phone that individual is using. But first, imagine this: If I want to make a phone call, I pick up my phone, dial the number and I am connected to that individual. I hate to say this, but it’s time for the phone carriers to step in. Google, a multibillion-dollar company cannot, for some reason, create an app that simply works with all android phones without the users having to go through all sorts of workarounds. They had something going with Hangouts, but they seriously dropped the ball on that - and it had so much potential. While Apple built their app into their OS and it works seamlessly, Google has stumbled. Apple, for its part has managed to create a reliable method to video chat. You got Tango, the two from Google (Hangouts and Duo), Skype, Facebook Messenger, a plethora of others in the Play store, and the most popular one, FaceTime, isn't even compatible with Android devices. There are too many chat apps out there in the wild. ![]() I'm back and it's time we had a conversation about video calling (Or facetime, as the kids like to call it). ![]() It has been a long while since I last posted in the AC forums. ![]()
