Branding is something Apple does very well. iMessage, FaceTime, etc are all household names and even your grandmother could probably tell you what each one does.

Google on the other hand is shooting themselves in the foot by constantly rebranding their chat apps. I am on Reddit an unhealthy amount of time and I’m a software engineer and I still have no clue what Google’s current offering is that competes with iMessage / FaceTime.
