Fully agreed. And to add: Nobody in my circles still uses SMS texting on their phones, but rather Signal, Matrix, Telegram etc. ( which they can access on their other devices. Millions of people living in the USA or Canada use SMS texting.They are not even aware of whatsapp (for example) or why would they be using it.
...because SMS was free of charge there. In Europe it was quite expensive to send text messages, which made messenger like WhatsApp popular. In between its the social 'pressure', not the quality of product or service, that keeps WA alive. Every other messenger has a better web or native client than WA. just as a sidenote..... Axel
