Meanwhile Indians: Whatsapp for family, Telegram for Study, Snapchat and Instagram for Friends, SMS for OTPs and some random lottery spams😂

I think this video also explains why Snapchat is so popular amongst kids in my generation. The emotional attachment you get from seeing someone’s face constantly is just different than seeing their bubble.

Only USA still uses SMS for daily communication, the rest of the world uses SMS only for 2FA tokens and some transactional notifications. It is normal to have at least 3 or 4 messaging apps installed, and it's not a big deal to use them all

"but someone came in an optimized them" in reference to Gold and Silver is incredible. that someone was Satoru Iwata, late president of Nintendo.

Interesting to see what a huge deal the bubble is, here in Switzerland I‘ve never heard or had a text interaction about the bubble. iMessage is basically never used here, Wahtsapp mainly.

I usually don't comment but... I really connected with this video. I relate so much with the part that "texts don't properly convey emotions but only the information". It is inherently one of the worst ways of human communications. The depth a conversation can go to without talking and just with expressions and body language can never be totally translated through any other means of communication. Video calls, Future AR Communication or some other method won't work. I have so much to talk about and KZfaq comments are definitely one of the worst ways to get an emotion through. Anyways, have a good one 🎂.

I knew you from Android Authority initially, and now from Marques’s team, but I’m surprised it took me this long to find your personal channel. You’re putting out some great stuff on here.

David, you just might have produced my single favorite video content of 2022. Interesting how it all stirs back to communication since it is a smartphone. Communication comes first, then it's information. Boolean Algebra Chart ✅ Information Theory Reference ✅ "Her" movie montage ✅ Beautiful musical scores ✅ Combined math, cs, psychology, & history ✅ I understand why it takes you a while to make content, but don't settle for less. Continue making this fantastic work!

I love me some sociopolitical David.

I prefer watching David talking about any random things for whole night rather than movie or tv series

It's kinda crazy how much of a communication barrier iMessage creates by not being cross platform. My family doesn't use iMessage and sms because we've found other apps work better for group messages for us but I see where this could be a huge problem for college age kids.

Nice work Dave, you're the only one that can make mathematics sound so interesting and relatable!

An amazingly entertaining, light yet deep dive into communication. Totally loved it. This video deserves way more love.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Dope video! Love the construction of this whole video! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!! can't wait for the next one

Dude, congrats! you really are stepping up your videos here, I personally feel this channel is about to become a "vsauce or lemmino like" experience in the tech context, with amazing content, a great script and great production. Keep going

The amount of thoughts you put into this video is insane, I feel like I need to rewatch some parts just to understand it better. Seriously that's really well done !😯

Hey David, was waiting for a new video. I was surprised to see that you haven't been uploading lately.But great job man, learned a lot of things. It was worth the wait! You're a genius!

I was awake at 3PM with Insomnia the sound of David's voice and the background calm music helped me sleep. Now I'm back to watching the video. Thanks, David!

This has to be one of my favourite videos of this year, seriously well done David 👏🏻 amazing work!

Damn this video is soo well done! Hope your channel grows big asap, the quality of context is *chef's kiss*.

David uploading is the highlight of my month

Well done video, David! The delivery, the content and the production. All top notch. Keep 'em coming! Cheers

Fantastic quality content from start to finish. Please keep uploading such great videos. Thank you.

Fantastic video, David - you have a super clear and understandable way of explaining complex topics.

Man, love the potencial of your content around this kind of subjects. You’re great :)

Absolutely love these videos David! Thank you for making them :)

another great video David and happy birthday 🎂 🎉

I am continually impressed that you put out KZfaq videos that are basically better and more informative than any paper or presentation I ever did in college. 👍👍

Criminally underrated video of yours. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Underrated channel, mkbhd needs to promote this channel more

David you have managed to become my favorite new KZfaqr on the platform in just 4 videos.

Love these videos! They always have a unique perspective and are very insightful!

Good to see you back! David!

This video is incredible. It takes me back to a time when I was actually excited by KZfaq content. This feels fresh yet nostalgic and timeless at the same time. I wish you weren’t working for marques full time so you could upload more often (even though I really love watching his vids and seeing you on the studio channel!)

Fascinating video. I wish David would do more.

This was a thoughtful, informative and intriguing video. Loved it. Thank you. You made sure to show a very unique angle on the matter.

Your content is simply amazing! The sure amount of effort and work involved definitely comes through

This was excellent David thank you, I really apprecaite how thoughtfully you analyzed this. The sad and frustrating thing to me is how many people can't look past the limitation and use another platform, they reduce it to the lowest common denominator saying stuff like, "Why don't you just get an iPhone?" Rather than choosing one of the myriad options (telegram, whatsapp etc.) When the reality may be a million reasons people choose android. It may just suit them better due cost, flexibility, taste whatever. But generally the "why don't you just get an iPhone?" folks don't think past the convenience with which they can communication their feeligns to think about why someone else might prefer or need to choose something else and approach with kindness or empathy. It's tough that it's easier for people to essentally say, "Spend money so it's easier for me to communicate the way I want to." Rather than "Yeah I could take 10 seconds to set up and use an app that is free so we can both communicate better together!" hmmmpffff I'll step off my soapbox now. Hahaha. Thanks again for your great video.

So good!

Happy Birthday, David!

OMG!!!! This video is so great! I like the way you break down this problem into the level of communication theory. I major in CS, and I never heard Shannon before either. I'm so happy to learn this important person from your video! and btw the paper was cited almost 150000 times, holy!

the fact that Engineering students don’t know about Shannon’s theory but Advertising students study that during the first year of uni is just… wow

Greetings from the Uk David 🇬🇧…watched the 1st 5 minutes this morning but stopped as I’ve got a busy day ahead. The quality of your previous videos means I want to watch this in full later this evening (probably with a beer or wine) when I can give it my full attention. You don’t post videos often but in my opinion that makes it more enjoyable to watch & your subject matter, narration & video quality are amazing. Keep up the great work & stay safe & healthy 👍

Great video. SMS vs Web messenger is by-the-by. The breakdown in communication and implicit communication is just brilliant.

This was awesome! Thank you David!

Great post and thoughtful content. Your bottom line is correct. Apple has the power to adopt RCS and just isn't willing to do it. Keep doing these!

You learn something new everyday, and today I can say I learnt quite a few things, and all of it was super interesting.

I love the production in this video.

Really awesome video David. You hit the nail on the head with explaining why iMessage is so popular that I don't think that other people understand. One thing that I would like to add is read receipts. I love texting my best friend, maybe late at night, and we're just talking about random stuff, and you send a dumb message and it doesn't say "delivered"-- it says "read 11:48 pm". That means that she didn't go to another app, she's actively engaging in a conservation with me. That adds so much to the conservation, especially to the ones you care a lot about. Add in the typing indicator while I'm waiting for her response to my dumb comment and it makes it feel like we're actually having a real conservation. There really isn't a much better feeling than texting someone you care about late at night and you feel like they're right there with you instead of sending a message through a phone. You don't get that with SMS. Maybe you should, and Apple should definitely support RCS, but you just don't get that close feeling when texting with your friend that has an android phone. Unless you move to a different app, which increases the friction SO MUCH.

Hey David... Your videos, and I mean ALL OF THEM, are now in my relaxing playlist and that's because of my love for tech, that relaxes me when someone talkes good and in depth about it. Quick suggestion for you: Use J cuts and L cuts to fine tune the momentum of your video. otherwise it's awesome. I'd love to see you in a MKBHD video at some point.

How am I just seeing this now?? Subscription worthy content; loved it 👏🏻👏🏻

I like this type of content. Damn this must have taken you a long time to make.

This was a really well thought out video David. Loved the idea that human communication is Information + emotion. I have a degree in Telecommunications and have studied Information Theory along with the entire race to reduce the number of bits sent that laid the foundation to encryption methods. Apple today is what it is because it knows how to emotionally connect with the consumers to generate a need for their products even when there isn’t one, so it is no surprise that at the core of iMessage also lies an emotional aspect that Apple so dearly wants to hold on to. Looking forward to your next video. Tc!

I love the research that goes into your videos. Very LEMMiNO-esque.

I really appreciate your efforts in this Informative explanation video. Wishing you good luck .❤

Great contextual explanation!

Incredible video with very insightful background, thanks David! Come visit Fort Worth, the Stockyards is a lot of fun and there's some awesome food here too.

Happy Birthday David :)

Great video David, I really enjoyed it.

It's crazy how all of this is obsolete and non-existing in other parts of the world. In Europe almost everyone uses WhatsApp. What is it about the North Americans that draws them so much into not even thinking about other messaging services.

Phenomenal video! I'm on my S21+ and some of my apple friends always ask why I just don't switch but I'm perfectly happy with my S21+

Incredible video man! Absolutely amazing work. I noticed at around 22:45 there's a phone number visible on the phone on screen. Just wanted to make you aware of it in case it was important.

U are back finally

Amazing!!!! Informative and fun to watch! Channel succeeded! Emotions properly conveyed. 😉🙂👌🏻👍🏻

Finally a new video!

This analysis is fantastic. I DESPISE having important conversations via text and have had a lot of falling outs with people I cared about because of the missing context / emotional content. In my country we default to WhatsApp and not having this "bubble color classism", I still find it's very difficult to communicate efficiently only via text. I can imagine it must be pretty rough in the US. Phones are meant to communicate and bring us closer together, but this is a clear case of company greed literally affecting people's relationships. There has to be more regulation towards what the Apples and the Googles and the Samsungs of the world do, their decisions have tremendous impact and I feel like the legal / regulatory aspect of tech is decades behind the technical aspect. Right to Repair is a very good example of this.

this video was dope, clicked on it for imessage stuff and was surprised to learn about this interesting history and the ideas that power modern tech.

Lol at people getting upset with android users instead of apple giving them an intentionally bad user experience

great video! the history going back to WWII was very interesting.

Interesting you mention Shannon not getting mentioned. I did Electronic Engineering at a university in the UK and he did come up, but more in relation to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem which was important in the signals module and some of the Boolean logic (although that was more generalised since I did FPGA and micro-controller design). But interesting watch! Thank you!

The fact that I’m sitting here watching content of this informational caliber, at no monetary cost, blows my mind.

fantastic video - thank you!

You should upload more often! 💙

Happy Birthday!!

Great video!!!

Happy Birthday Bro 🤗

David, new video when? You're amazing at this - I know the views aren't necessarily as good as they could be but you've been one of the 1% of tehctubers who've actually educated me on somethings. So I beg that you find motivation for more content. Thanks!

I didn't understand why it is such a big deal. But after watching this, it make sense lot more. I was so surprise how heart emoji can take it differently depending on circumstances. It's even worst cause iPhone and Android users see a differently. Which can lead to a small but big miscommunication. Also.... I really like how you did the background lighting.

I was 15 minutes into the video when I realized his shirt was inside out lol. Great video though. This is the type of content I aspire to one day create.

This is amazing content

O God, O God, if wisdom's light I seek, Let David Imel be the one to speak. In realms of tech, his knowledge vast, An eloquent guide, in clarity cast. 🗿

fantastic video

How does this channel not have millions of subscribers!? Makes me feel really cool. Like I'm part of something super cool but not very known

Thank you for this video

Informative video! It's very strange from a non-US perspective to see how much stock a lot of people seem to put into the default apps. For my every day I use Discord for my friends, Facebook Messenger for school and default (SMS or iMessage) for my family.

You're arguably the best tech youtuber when it comes to discussing topics. I'd prefer if you stick to this style where every minute of your video is rich in content. It's super rare to see these days where everyone seems to have filler content.

So well done man! Resonated with so many things here

Finally a video is here... Yes 🥰

Interesting and frustrating at the same time. Hope this will be fixed soon. Thank you for your insight David.

i am an electrical engineering student, i literally have my book opened on shannon's capacity formula (spending precious time on youtube), and I start watching this

Wow, I found your channel 2 days ago searching for content about Google's Material You, and I have to say, your videos are absolutely great. Most people already said this but yes, I think only USA still uses SMS as the primary communication tool on mobile phones. Here in Brazil most people are Android users (they are cheaper than an iPhone, which costs around R$8.000) and even iPhone users message through WhatsApp, it's simple and available on any device, even computers.

Wow, did not think a content like that can be so interesting for a non-us citizen. 👏🏻

And a year later, Apple decides to add support for RCS ... but won't happen until 2024. Great video explaining ALL of this. Hopefully you can make a newer video after Apple adds RCS.

Another cracking video, David. Keep them coming.

Man i miss your videos. Hope you make some videos again soon.

I felt like I was watching a Veritasium video.

This guy recently uploaded one video in the last two years. Marques must have been overworking him.

Amazing work David, keep up the awesome content.

Interesting to see! 😀

Wake up honey David uploaded
