I honestly don’t understand why you hate iPhones so much. Once you’re using them, everything pieces together. It’s very easy and seamless. It seems to me that using your Android is what’s causing the issue.
+1
If everyone else has an iPhone then the actual issue is that you don’t. Suck it up, it’s an easy fix.
the actual issue is that Apple acts like a tyrant and doesn't want to be inclusive, which is ironic given their icon has a rainbow in it.
No, that is a different issue.
The issue here is this kid being able to communicate with friends. Suck it up. It’s an easy solution.
they can't communicate as easily because Apple doesn't play nice with android.
Sure, the solution is easy, but it's pricey, and Apple sucks.
Ok. And? You just want to complain about it?
? yea, people come on here to vent and complain. My kids have iphones btw.
Haters gonna hate.
Apple is way better than Android.
A sucker is born every minute.

This made us constantly have to convert file formats back and forth to save or use on school computers or send to the 95% of normal people that had MS Office, and I was less comfortable in using all the available program tools on MS Word and Excel and PowerPoint than my friends who had it at home and it limited me. I resented it. It didn't make me admire my dad's independent-mindedness, it made me think he was pointless and petty and couldn't pick his battles and was thoughtlessly making a stand on my back rather than his own. For the record, of course he's now the only one in our family with an Android, because that's him.
No kid wants to be the one with the weird incompatible tech rooted in parental rigid dogma.

OP again and yes, I do think we have an old, old iPad stored somewhere. I think it's connected to my current phone/email, however, and I don't know how to change it back
Do a factory reset
The apple store is very helpful with resetting old ipads as long as you can log in or prove it is yours (I recently had to do this for an ipad we inherited from someone who died)
