Messaging apps are taking over our lives. But with so many to choose from, and the fact that so many of them do way more than just pass text and images, the endgame for these methods of communication isn’t clear. David Pierce, who wrote about how we’re moving away from the text message this week on WIRED, leads the discussion. The three hosts warm up by discussing the future of the physical television remote in an all-app, all-streaming landscape. Also: strong feels about Soylent 2.0, -ねこあつめ-, the complexity of Apple’s music-playing software. Send the hosts feedback on their personal Twitter feeds (David Pierce is @pierce, Molly McHugh is @iammollymchugh and Michael Calore is @snackfight) or to the main hotline at @GadgetLab.
