Lucky in a sense

Because of all the hoohahs with Whatsapp that I ended up buying a new (inexpensive) android phone. While I was questioning the wisdom in going that far, getting another digital & newer device, I found out I couldn't use Google any more on my old IPhone.
Lucky that I have a new phone with me. 
Is your current phone OK with all the new updates? (I still use my old phone to read news.)

It does everything really well.

@YrNemo
No idea about that
Good phone.
Better than Samsung
Half the price same features
And it pairs with my Xiaomi TV without internet as if by magic

@JimBo452020 wow! I am impressed. I did consider buying Xiaomi phone & security cameras before, but after reading articles in the news about security breach, I ended up buying something else. (heheh, I got some cheap China made cameras here, but I stopped using them because of the same issue!)

@YrNemo If you have a network connection that is what is needed

One of my colleagues recently dropped her old Iphone in the toilet. She fixed the dampness now, but told me since she paid for it with her own saving, she treasured it more (hence the reluctance to get a newer, cheaper android one).

I have a second sim on my old Iphone now (because I like to have a second number just for emergency). I use that phone mainly for reading news (IPhone's daily news is great!). The odd thing is, strangers kept calling that number. I don't answer of course because I haven't given that new number out to anyone yet. But it is simply weird!

I love your profile photos. Many of them (like this one) are so pretty. You are not a movie star are you? (I am so dumb with new gadgets. I am still struggling with the new one which is almost half a year old now hahaha.)

no clue. The moment it appeared I turned off the phone and looked around. I have tried again and again to stop it harrassing me hahaha.

I don't have an IPhone. My mother does and hers is working fine. I use an android phone.

hehehe, you must have got one of the latest ones. Congrats. I thought I would get one for my youngest, but one of her older relatives got her an android instead (and everyone was happy!).

My phone is fine but I might get a second smart phone.
Still thinking about it though.
