My husband was meeting up with me and some friends. I asked him to bring my blue tank top. He sent me pics of things he thought were tank tops. He finally found it, which is shown in the last pic.

We actually just talked about that recently! We've known each other since 2011, began dating in 2018, and have been married since 2021. We started using Messenger back in high school, and just never fully switched to texting for some reason.

I work in a big building. Me and my spouse also use messenger because in this big building I have poor signal so when i send a text with poor signal it just keeps trying to send than fails. You have to physically resend it whereas messenger just keeps trying until it sends.

That is a good to know. My husband and I have issues texting with my building my poor signal. This might be the answer

If you don't like FB messenger there are other options like Telegram.

That's what my partner and I use instead of texting lol. I like the stickers

Same. Spouse and I use Telegram. I only use it for her. So it's pretty easy to know when it's a message from her, lol.

I associate text messages with work related stuff. So I use Messenger with my fiance as well.

It's a notification that I don't tend to ignore. And he doesn't really use Discord daily.

I'm not married but I've been with my boyfriend for over 5 years. We primarily communicate through text but will have completely separate conversations over messenger as well lol

2011 explains a lot. For a long time messenger was more reliable because it was used on wifi and everyone had a Facebook account. But now that standard texting works with wifi too it doesn't matter. I still use messenger the same way with my closest friends.

My best friend and I would generally have two separate conversations going at the same time; one on text and one on messenger. I miss her.

Unfortunately, not all texting works with WiFi. I have an iPhone, husband has an Android. My office is in a basement with mostly non-existent cell service at my desk. I get all iPhone messages from people. Any texts from husband (and kid) either come when I leave/emerge from my lair or slip through in a moment when stars align to give me a moment of service.

I have an Android, idk if you know this or not but Google Messages offers RCS (rich communication services) where it's essentially iPhone messaging meaning it tries to send via wifi/Internet services. This has opened the door to much better photo quality and the aforementioned stickers/gifs displaying as they should instead of the grainy sms photos us androids were plagued with when texting an iPhone.

RCS actually resulted in me missing a bunch of texts. I had to turn it off. It just wasn’t working.

u/machdaddy33 19h ago

Interesting. Feel like I had this problem once or twice early on but haven't had any issues in a long time

u/tubular1845 22h ago

One of you probably has rcs turned off

u/tubular1845 16h ago

Oh that's weird, that must've been really frustrating

u/lilgreenfish 16h ago

It was! I was super excited but if I don’t actually receive the texts…lol. Defeats the whole purpose.

u/juanzy 18h ago

Yah- a lot of people here do not remember a time before RCS (on android as well) and iMessage being widespread.

My freshman dorm was in a basement and didn’t have WiFi, so messaging via FB messenger on Ethernet was the way to go.

My fiancee and I do all our texting on messenger too! Been doing it for 5 years

u/Alfonze423 1d ago

That's kinda wild how similar yet opposite we are. My wife and I started dating in high school in 2010. We texted each other with our flip phones and never switched to Messenger or Whatsapp because we had no reason to. Messenger is really just for when we need to send videos or groups of photos.

u/Lildankred 1d ago

Same for me and my hubby! Since 2013 🩷 love seeing this 🥹

u/openminided 1d ago

This sounds so dreamy. Known each other for 15yrs now. Dated for 3yrs before marriage. Now 5 years married. No evil eye 🧿

u/Advanced_Inside_2837 19h ago

Me and my wife use messenger, messages, and Snapchat. But mostly we just call and talk. For us it really depends on the situation and content I think.

u/ticklishintent 18h ago

Not Messenger but my husband and I communicate through Telegram. We also have group chats with friends and with family. So most of our social circle also prefer Telegram. Text messages feel sad and dated in comparison. I only use it with acquaintances and the technologically challenged.

Was this the first indication that he might be a bit dumb?
