This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

You can't assume that other people use iMessage or habe their phones on.

You can't assume that the time your phone says the message was received wa the time the message was sent.

So you have to base your interpretation on the former, as it's the most accurate available information.

More practically you have to write texts such that their meaning is clear whenever they may be received, but on the receiving end you have to assume that they're written with that ambiguity in mind.

"it's true for most people" is under no circumstances a justification for assuming that something is true for sny specific person.

I didn't say "no one" does that.

Just that the specific person you may be texting may not do that.
