It just uses your phone's internet connection, just like Whatsapp Except when you're sending a message to someone who isn't an iMessage user, or if the "Send as SMS" option is enabled, resulting in what you thought was an iMessage becoming an SMS/MMS. The blue/green colour difference, as well as the light grey text in the input field, isn't always immediately obvious. By contrast, Whatsapp is always free. You can't send someone a message on Whatsapp and discover it's gone out as an SMS/MMS after the fact. That said, I still prefer iMessage personally.

- pier25 8y agoIn the US iOS has a 40% market share. https://www.statista.com/statistics/266572/market-share-held-by-smartphone-platforms-in-the-united-states/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/266572/market-share-held... But in Mexico it's probably between 10% and 20%. I can't seem to find any recent stats.
