    I live in the states and I do not know a single person who still uses WhatsApp. Everyone uses iMessage.

      Has WhatsApp ever been bigger than iMessage there? From what I heard it was basically SMS → iMessage

        Part of the reason was because of sms pricing on thr earlier days. Sms was quickly free in the U.S, so they used sms because it was there. Many regions used whatsapp and similar to avoid sms charges in the early days. That usage habit still exists today

          You also have a lot of movement of people between countries in the EU, and international SMS still isn’t unlimited/free for most mobile plans worldwide.
