It should be noted that while chat services that many use require low bandwidth, sometimes on throttled speed it's not enough to even make a basic Google search.
It is likely that the person you are talking to already used up their high speed mobile internet and now is running on throttled. Searching something up can take a minute or two in that state. Opening up a website or navigation becomes straight up impossible.
I suffer from that problem frequently
Google Maps and Apple Maps allow you to download offline maps!
And unfortunately many of us neglect to do that! Yes I know I should but somehow we never think we need it
I swear I'll download my maps this time
I totally understand that. As I said, I never know the reason, so I don't judge. It's just that the situation is funny, in the "we have the tools, but still can't solve the problem" kind of way. :D
