VoyageVault vs just your iMessage group chat
iMessage is where the trip actually happens — but everything scrolls away in the thread. No map, no way to search the whole trip, no organized archive, and Android friends drop to green-bubble SMS. VoyageVault adds all of that from inside the same chat.

|---|---|---|---|
| Works on iPhone + Android | ✓ | ~ | iMessage is iPhone-first; Android friends drop to green-bubble SMS. |
| Nothing to install | ✓ | ~ | Built into iPhones; Android can't fully join. |

✓ = yes · ~ = partial · — = no. Comparison reflects typical use for keeping a group trip; just your iMessage group chat is a fine tool for what it's built for.
