iOS 11.2.2 runs like a dream on my SE. A couple of old apps that I hardly ever used weren’t supported, but on the whole it is worth the upgrade.

I bought a Moto E to see how well a cheap phone could perform. It was quite good on kitkat but the lollipop update made it virtually unusableand it now sits in a drawer. I also got a HTC M8S which is still on a 2016 security update and will only give about 3 hours of on screen usage. Give me Apples solution any day.

Everyone claiming Apple deliberately throttles iPhones when a new iOS comes out should watch this test on YouTube.

I don't know. To all my Android friends, there is WhatsApp or Line, two popular iMessage alternative which can be easily downloaded and used within minute. I just wished they support Animoji, but well.

Try sending a photo in iMessage and then send the same photo in WhatsApp. WhatsApp greatly reduces the file size, whereas iMessage will send it at full resolution.

For an instant messaging app, this behaviour is absolutely correct and saves a lot of headaches on time and bandwidth. Even with the auto reduction in size I still get people asking not to be sent images.

That said, if you really want to send full res photos via WhatsApp, you can.

Where is the setting in WhatsApp to send full size photos? I have been looking but cannot find it. I agree you should be able to send the photo at lower resolution if you wish but when I share a photo I generally want it to be at full resolution.
