I'm part of a group text with 6 other women (it's very nice they're including me as a friend; don't get me wrong), and they all have a text habit that seems SUPER weird to me: whenever one of them texts something that another one likes (say, "Great news about your promotion!"), Person 2 (and sometimes 3-5) will reply with a text that reads "Loved 'Great news about your promotion!' "
Is that weird? Or do I just not understand how people do this text thing? (I get that the "loved..." thing is a carryover from being able to love posts/comments on FB, but still. It seems weird as shit to literally spell out that you loved someone's text.)
I would hear Keith David saying "Leonard likes this post" every time.
Tep, they're not actually typing that out. Beginning with iOS 10, you could like, love, etc. a text just like you would on FB. For those that don't have phones capable of parsing it, it will send a text describing the action taken.

Holy crap. I had no idea. (Also, I have the most recent iOS, so I wonder why my phone doesn't show it.)
Oh, wait...

(Sorry.) (Not sorry.)
Seriously, I really thought I was failing at this basic building block of friendship via text by not saying "Loved 'blah blah blah'." I'm relieved to know I'm not THAT bad of a friend. But perplexed to know that I can't figure out how texting works. I need to check my settings.
Interesting. I have not seen a text with 'Loved' so my phone apparently just sends me hearts or something.
Steph, it might be because not everyone does. I think I have your number (ending in ****, which will go poof in a minute) and we can see if it works. I have the latest iOS as well.
Friend on FB is posting about how bananas have "tons" more sugar now than they did back in the day, so we're "risking diabetes" if we eat them, and by the way, isn't it worrisome that apples are so much bigger than they used to be in the Good Olde Days?
I just want to know, who are these people whose lives are so trouble-free that THIS is what they spend time and energy worrying about?

Right? "Too much fruit" is not going to be a problem for the vast, vast majority of people. And this is largely because if you do eat too much fruit (ie, way more than 1 large apple), your guts will let you know that you chose poorly. (I know there are some people who need a keto diet because it was actually recommended by their doctor, like to prevent seizures, and for them, okay, avoid the giant apple if you have to.)
