From Apple to Samsung. I'm getting the Ultra or 26+. Not sure yet. What do I do about FaceTime?

Or should I not switch? I own a iPhone 14.

Enjoy not having to do FaceTime, or use one of the other many apps you and your people probably already have that do video calls, social media apps, whatsapp, zoom, meet, etc.

Would you switch from an iPhone 14 to a Samsung s26 ultra? I’m having a hard time pulling the trigger.

What do you want out of your phone?

Does everyone you know use iPhone to the point that you NEED FaceTime?

use whatsapp. works great.

Get the people you facetime with to install it and your problem is solved. Can't imagine you'd have to convice more than 3-5 people to do it.



Enjoy life on the free side!!!!

Brought to you by the biggest data harvester on the planet. And Meta, which owns WhatsApp, a close second?

Remember that 90% of the users on this site don't even know what jailbreaking is, and shouldn't, because that "freedom" comes with the responsibility to do things like read app security certificates, etc.

It's more than that. The freedom is about not being locked into a single ecosystem and all the BS that comes with it.

hush. I'm talking about using your device however you want it. I don't care what device you're using, you're being tracked and farmed. That's not remotely what I was talking about.

Go Ultra. My wifes friend has been a long time Samsung user, decided to try the iPhone 17 Pro Max this year, lasted 3 weeks and just picked up her Ultra yesterday. She hated the iPhone. Asian women

Sure, it's gonna be easy to get people to put a crappy new app on their phones

Oh and to the OP, enjoy your data mining.

pure android, as found on the Pixel series, is the best mobile OS.

I hate how Samsung skins android and would rather stick with apple.

This used to be my opinion, but Samsung has come a LONG way since the touchwiz days or whatever it was called. I prefer Samsungs skin over stock android now.

Primarily because most people have no idea the privacy they are giving up by being on Android. Like it never occurs to them it's a Google made love machine.
