Picture Messaging on Xbox 1

I guess older people may not want it, but, who here would like Picture Messaging on Xbox 1? Xbox 360 has it. One of my friends sent me one this afternoon. Hardly anyone on Xbox 360 sends picture messaging anyway since I got Xbox late 2010. I've only had
like less than a dozen picture messages.

I love the social features Microsoft provides through Xbox Live. Xbox Live Party, Avatars, Voice Messaging (which Xbox 1 didn't have for months after Launch, but finally has, it was one of the BIGGEST requested ideas on the official feedback site), text
messaging, Kinect, Skype, etc. Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 is like social media, and how Microsoft creates these ways to interact online. I think Picture Messaging would be an interesting addition to Xbox 1. Yes, some will say others may abuse it. But those who abuse
it can always get reported.

O Voice Messaging, Where Art Thou?

Well so far you can't EVEN do it on the console (yet). Guess some of us won't be silent about this until Microsoft GETS it onto the Xbox 1 console. Voice messaging between all Xbox 1 consoles at least, IS POSSIBLE, since ALL Xbox 1 consoles have the same
AUDIO CODEC. This is about the 12TH voice messaging thread I've seen on the Xbox 1 General Discussion Forum.

 

Microsoft Testing "Variety" of new Xbox Prototypes - Report

I still prefer them not to make upgradeable Xbox 1's. Consoles have enjoyed the debacle which is all to common with PCs... "can my PC run this?" and system requirements. Screamride and Kinect Sports Rivals look AMAZING on Xbox 1 and that's coming from me.
Another thing that's good is genuine Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 consoles don't get viruses. Genuine reports of them on genuine consoles have been negligible and you don't need to visit naughty sites to get a virus. And it's super fun.

And also, Xbox 360 still has the larger population of Xbox Live members active on that platform still than those on the Xbox 1 platform. It's not just system specs in regards to consoles. It's also about the user and online service. And Microsoft does a
brilliant job. Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 actually can be considered social media like Facebook it. Party Chat, Voice and text messaging and picture messaging on Xbox 360 (I would like picture messaging on Xbox 1), video chat on console, and playing and meeting peps
using the platform from different countries. I think Sony copied or got ideas of Microsoft's Xbox 360 Xbox Live Party Chat idea on their 8th gen console has Party Chat. Being able to chat and video chat with people across the globe easily using Xbox Live.
You can do different things on your console while in Party Chat. Also on Xbox 360's UI, you can look at other people's 3D Xbox avatars on the dashboard. Xbox 1's UI shows Party Chat format a bit differently to Xbox 360, it doesn't show it how the 360 does
it by going to Social, Parties, no 3D avatars of who's in the Party. I just think this feature Microsoft included on Xbox 360 is really kwl!

 

More "ageism" from smiles...go figure.

 

smilesskybird, why do you always (just about but not all) start with identity politics and reference to age?

 

"text messaging, Kinect, Skype, etc." - smileskybird

If you ever get a powerful PC you can do all of the above on it. No Xbox required.

 

I remember when they allowed "pictures" on the forums.

It was like "The *** Monologues"...

But less feminist.

 

There were lots of *** pics. Ahh the good old days.

 

^^ But us old farts don't miss the good old days because we don't want picture messaging apparently.

Actually this old fart doesn't care if it's introduced or not.I got a phone that sends pictures

 

What's this electronic photographic telegram you speak of?

 

I don't know. Picture messaging might be better for the old folks. I mean, it would be easier to see than trying to read the text with our bifocals.
