    Question playing Apple Music library on Android

    I tried downloading the Apple Music app onto my ThinkPhone. It wants to sell me an Apple Music subscription but it wont play the music library of songs I've already paid for.

    Returned to Android for the first time since 2011

I was bored with Apple for a long time, but I was afraid to switch because I thought the disruption would be massive and I'd lose things that I was used to like electronic payments and messaging on my laptop. Turns...

    Question Intel Unison

    Update: Intel Unison was just too flaky so I deleted it from my devices and switched to PhoneLink.

    Question annoying spam text messages

    The bubbles are on their faces in the messages list. There are also two little checkmarks next to the message text itself. Assuming this is normal behavior?

    Question annoying spam text messages

    Thanks for your help. Something is different now in Messages. I have RCS enabled and two of my contact's photos now have a little blue bubble in them. Is that normal? Does it designate and RCS chat? Sorry for all the questions but I am still getting used to Android.

    Question annoying spam text messages

    I just got another one. I clicked on the link and the phone app opened and tried to dial it, but it doesnt have enough digits. It appeared in SMS Organizer but not Messages. Think I'm going to delete SMS Organizer and see if the eliminates the annoyance.

    Question annoying spam text messages

    Follow up question: I've been using SMS Organizer for text messaging. Should I switch to Google Messages? Google Messages seems like it has better features like RCS and group texting.
