The ones from the Huffington Post they proposed to find out how young girls use their iPhones and they interviewed a 14-year-old girl from the USA. Their goal was to find out what the young woman does all day with iPhone- her and without much surprise we learn that messaging applications occupy the first place in the top of usage. iMessage is the central point of the messaging system, but applications such as Skype, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp Messenger they have their usefulness, probably when iMessage becomes functional.
I'll wake up in the morning and go on Facebook just ... because. It's not like I want to or I don't. I just go on it. I'm, like, forced to. I don't know why. I need to. Facebook takes up my whole life. Not having an iPhone can be social suicide, notes Casey. One of her friends found herself effectively exiled from their circle for six months because her parents dawdled in upgrading her to an iPhone. Without it, she had no access to the iMessage group chat, where it seemed all their shared plans were being made. "She wasn't in the group chat, so we stopped being friends with her," Casey says. "Not because we didn't like her, but we just weren't in contact with her."
Even if Facebook remains the favorite social network of young people, iMessage is the main method of interaction with friends and those who are without an iPhone are effectively forgotten. The young woman told the publication that at least one friend became "history" due to the fact that she does not own an iPhone and no longer has access to iMessage, and even if everything seems out of the ordinary to you, these things are as possible "normal" and happens frequently at that age.
