Ah yeah, I’m on iOS so I think I’m screwed

Lol thats okay. We all getting screwed one way or another and Yea I dont even trust iOS. Theres a huge divide among regulars between iOS and Android. I dont understand why they start a whole debate on how one OS is better than another 🤦‍♂️ Regulars need to understand they will always be on the losing end especially 9-5s.
