Now, the reason for why I'm asking this is because I don't quite think I elaborated on why I slowly but surely drifted away completely from Facebook. There's a lot of reasons for that, but a very particular portion of that was messaging for a while. Messaging was awesome. The video calls were great. The communication in general was great. No bugs, no errors

And what's cool about it and what it sets it apart from other voice apps is that you can live hear the person as well as listen to their voice messages later. So it works standard as most voice messaging apps work. But if you both are available and are on the device, you can hear each other live. Sort of like a phone call a tiny bit. But that's what I use for messaging and communication. I don't ever use Facebook for messenger. I hate Facebook messenger

Second thing is when you had mentioned you can hear that person live. Which reminds me, when I was 15 or 16, I went to go see some family in Downstate. And my aunt, who at the time was maybe 25, 26, still relatively young, hip and whatnot, she brought out this flip phone and I heard that magical little chirp, which, if you're familiar where I'm going with this, that was the Boost mobile phone. She had the very first Boost mobile

Especially when someone is saying, hey, I've asked a question, you missed my question or my comment. But those are the only two social platforms outside as well that I really use for communication or business communication. Other than that, I have not had main issues. But listening to what you were sharing, it sounds like Facebook. Even though Facebook and Instagram is the same, they need to do something different with their audio and video quality for calls

So I can't say much about Zoom now, Microsoft Teams, I'm not biased at all, and I will tell you when something is trash. And for me, it seems that Teams is very good. No call quality issues at all whatsoever, no video issues because obviously the organization that I work for relies on it to do entire concepts that are 2 hours long at a time and never once had a video quality issue or anything like that

I maybe have again one or two friends that like that communicate that way. Imessenger probably to answer your question more succinctly, WhatsApp is probably my go to messaging app and then from there I just go with the people that I am communicating with go to. But I have loads of these things. I'm just looking through my phone at how many I have there's discord

The calls for Webex specifically in the middle of a presentation, there are frequent pauses, even the person's video pause. And I'm not sure if that's just on my end or if it's for everyone. I actually need to ask my director about that because you can see them pause, the material pause. And then there will be a question, sometimes a question directed at me

It's funny that you say that you don't have these issues working remotely because I work 100% remotely and never have any issues. I would probably go with probably the infrastructure at your office because you got to think, I don't know how many employees or coworkers you have, but if you have one central hub and it's supporting, I don't know, 300 to 400 members, let's just throw that general figure out there. Then obviously there's going to be some connection issues

Hey Soul, great to hear from you. I think the last time that I heard from you was when you recommended the I think it was the health tracker, whatever was, I guess a quick update on that. I decided to go with the Samsung Basic watch. I went with I guess their top of the line watch was like the S four something and it was just overly complicated. Not that I couldn't use it, but it's just it was more than what I wanted it to be
