Why iMessage and FaceTime haven’t been blended into one single communications app isn’t clear, but that’s the way it is.
Video and voice calling is not included in iMessage, and you’ll have to do that in the FaceTime app instead - and FaceTime works only with Apple devices. In some countries iMessage users can even send each other money using Apple Pay. IMessage is just as fully-featured as other popular messaging apps, with support for images, GIFs, video and group calls. So your messages stay safe (unless someone can read your iCloud backups). Still Apple has a proven track record of not bending to demands by governments that it add backdoors to its encryption. So your Apple-based messages are secure, but everything else isn't. IMessage will let you send messages to all phone numbers, whether they use iMessage or not, but texting to Android devices relies on old-fashioned SMS thanks to Apple's refusal to support RCS. Contact your provider for details.If you’re an iPhone or Mac user, then the simplest option is sometimes the best, and iMessage is the ideal alternative to WhatsApp. Provided you're communicating with fellow iPhone users, that is. You can choose to share status posts with all your contacts or just selected ones. Status allows you to share text, photos, video and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. Or record a voice message to connect quickly. Share your location with only those in your individual or group chat, and stop sharing at any time. End-to-end encrypted group chats let you share messages, photos, videos and documents across mobile and desktop. Stay in touch with your friends and family.
