		MereInterest on Jan 26, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AirPods don't “just work” See my comment here[0]. Apple added application-level support for non-standard features not supported by SMS. When Apple sends message through the Message application, it selects either iMessage or SMS, based on whether there exists an iMessage connection, and whether the recipient has an iMessage account. This includes for things that are not representable by SMS. Reactions in the Message application, sent to a non-Apple device, show up as nonsense replies, such as "Liked an image", or "Liked 'The full text of the thing you just sent them.'".

Thank you: I was wondering where those inane 'Liked' SMS messages were coming from. The poor iPhone user is unaware of how rude that comes across.
