mskes me wonder... Could Apple do this? Like imagine only for iMessage platform but just like find my... For short text messages like let's say under 500 characters plain text or something obscenely tiny allow people to hop on other people's data or network access to peer to peer deliver messages over iMessage like we do with find my. Would be a great idea to think about in case of natural disasters? Maybe limit both clientside as well as server side to something like only ten or twenty outstanding messages per apple id at any time to cut down spam? Right and this becomes even more powerful when you add in Apple's satellite message service. So if a device can't reach the sky but is in reach of a passing person maybe we can get the message. It isn't panacea by any means especially with the rate limits but Apple is in this unique position to do something good if it wanted to. Ten is more than zero and people can forward message like I am alive and in so and so is worth more than a thousand mindless Instagram reel forwards. And maybe some day we can have this as a "global" standard but until then Tim Cook says "buy your mom an iPhone"
