I have been trying to figure two differences between iMessage and WhatsApp because I have no options but to use both. I use iMessage 99.9 % of the time within the US, and WhatsApp 100% when texting or calling overseas. The differences that I encounter are as follows. I will start with iMessage.
1. iMessage:
a. Lest say that I tap "Message" and search one of mi contacts, "Cathryn" (using a fictitious contact's name in this case). The iMessage screen shows- most times- the name properly capitalized as I have previously entered it in my "Contacts" folder. However, sometimes the name appears only in lowercase (not with a capital C for Cathryn). This happens more often than what I would like, and it slows down my texting speed.
b. Lest say that I tap Message once more, search for Cathryn again, the iMessage screen shows the right contact, then I tap the microphone and speak a voice text message: "Cathryn, I plan to drive home in a few minutes"
When I do so, the name "Katherine, I plan to drive home in a few minutes" appears on the screen instead.
Why would iMessage pick the name Katherine instead of the contact I have already chosen? After all, I already had the right screen and contact I wanted. The only difference is that I decided to "voice" the message instead of "type it."
2. WhatsApp: Does not have the problems above.
Please understand that I don't intent to argue with anybody about the differences between the two. All I want to do is ask to for your help. If you happen to know what I am doing wrong, would you please let me know?
