In Europe. WhatsApp or Signal, and I'm aware of Telegram. iMessage isn't even on my list of "what chat apps do people use?"

I use iMessage about 95% of the time I text, in Europe.

I guess it all comes down to your social circle then

And country. All I use is SMS. If anything else is used by people I know it is mostly Facebook Messenger or Hangouts. But SMS is still a clear #1.

I sure hope so. If I get an SMS/RCS from anyone on my android device I typically freak out, just as I freak out when people call me on my phone number.

Phone service protocols feel very outdated to me and are prone to scams, which I get from time to time on SMS, but I'd say never on whatsapp, or at least I can't recall any scam attempts.

You'd be happy to know that iMessage isn't an outdated phone service protocol.

Most of my spam comes through WhatsApp for comparison.

France?
