[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Pixel 8 does all the things you don't want a phone for as well as an iPhone, but the thing you do want them to have a phone for, like communicating with others for safety, or to build relationships, or plan in person interactions, it isn't nearly as good.

Let the kid switch.  [/quote]

SO kids can't build social interactions with  non apple phones now?[/quote]

I am an adult in a situation where I monitor kids' group chats, and the non apple phones consistently miss messages.  The kids will have a conversation about plans, and then we will find out that the same one or two kids didn't get the messages, or couldn't see the messages.  I am constantly needing to say "I don't see Larla's response.  Can someone call and check that she knows about this?"  But in a group without an adult, I doubt that would happen.

I think the issue might be a combination of having an Android and some kind of parental control, but it only happens with the kids on Android.

Interesting...I guess that makes sense!  Apple sure does a good job of making kids feel that they MUST for an iphone.  It is part of the reason I do not own any Apple products.  Oh no...my text is the wrong color.  [/quote]
