    I Created an App to Simplify the Messaging Apps Fragmentation in Android - DM Me

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:47 AM PST

    TL;DR:

    I created an app that simplifies the messaging fragmentation in Android.
    Tap a contact to open your favorite messaging app that you both use (IE Telegram/Signal/Whatsapp...)

    Download Link

    Background

    With all the WhatsApp/Facebook bandwagon lately many people have opted in and out of messaging platforms. Some installed Signal, some moved to Telegram, some stayed on WhatsApp and some still only use SMS
    I believe in the cause and personally installed both Signal and Telegram, but I couldn't help but be annoyed with the headache it caused.

    Having each contact on a different service makes it a chore to communicate with friends. Tell me if this sounds familiar
    "Does Mark use WhatsApp? or did he move to Telegram? Does he have Signal? I prefer texting him on Signal actually" I open Signal, he's not there, going to WhatsApp, not there. Just lost 30 seconds I could use to browse Reddit.

    What it does

    So I created DM Me, originally for my own use, During setup it prompts you to order your messaging apps by priority. It shows you a list of your contacts, tapping a contact will open the app you like the most that you're both use.

    Example:

    My order: Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, SMS
    Mark has: WhatsApp, SMS
    Tapping Mark's contact will open my WhatsApp chat with him

    Early access

    The app is still in early access, I just created the basics of what I want it to be. It's current features include

    • Ordering and reordering of your favorite messaging apps
    • Contact pinning (favorite contacts stay on top)
    • SMS support - in addition to your installed apps, it can also support SMS using your default SMS app
    • Hiding contacts that don't have any supported communication platform
    • It currently supports - Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp and SMS, I plan on adding Facebook Messanger and Viber

    Help from you

    I have many features planned and I would LOVE to get more insights from you.
    If you are using a messaging app that DMMe still doesn't support, please let me know in the comments and I'll add it as soon as I can
    If you run into any bug, please let me know
    If anything during the setup isn't clear, please tell me
    If you have a better idea for the name of the app, I'd love to hear it :P

    WhatsApp official status for concerns regarding privacy

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:27 PM PST

    WhatsApp Android app is showing a status about the concerns regarding the new privacy policy agreement stating Facebook having access to user's data.

    Here's the link to album - https://imgur.com/a/PI5xgGC

    This is the first time a non contact's status showed up in WhatsApp. Definitely a server side push. Probably this is how they are going to show ads in the app. Also disappeared after few minutes.

    S21 Ultra vs Pixel 5 camera comparison

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 11:39 PM PST

    S21 U pre order bundle in the Philippines comes with a charger among other things.

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 05:23 PM PST

    So I bit the bullet and was surprised that S21 ultra pre order bundle in the Philippines comes with a charger, tablet, galaxy buds pro, smart tag and 40 dollar Samsung credits https://i.imgur.com/PYpYamQ.jpg

    I'm curious if other regions have the same deals or even better ones.

    A message to LG Electronics : The Korea Times

    Posted: 17 Jan 2021 03:10 AM PST

    Android 11 blocks /android/data folder contents.

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 05:05 AM PST

    In case you don't know, beware of android now blocking just because, the access to file management apps to the /android/data folder contents unless you're using a rooted file manager. So if you have a legacy app that works on that folder, beware.

    This is a great step forward privacy and stability/s

    The only other known phone that does this, are iPhones.

    New SD870 or SD875 spotted! Thoughts?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 07:24 PM PST

    Why we need an android phone if every manufacturer wants to copy Apple?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 11:26 PM PST

    Android manufacturers just copying Apple to attract Apple users. How about loyal Android users? They think that we will stick to Android whatever happens?

    For example take S21 series.. Removes SD card Removes charging brick Removes In-box earphones Removes headphones jack (long back though) So much difference between base and ultra model like normal and pro max phone

    What's next? Removes charging port if Apple removes?

    I had switched from Samsung to budget flagship of Realme and it's value for money. Now I'm not in a mood to buy a Samsung flagship due to the above mentioned reasons and cost.
