Google has 73.18% market share in Europe, so it's quite rare that all your friends are using iPhone. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe/

  They have even more market share in the USA

    According to the same site, Android has <50% market share in the US, with iOS having >50.

      What's interesting here is that it's only the US where Apple has the dominance. Everywhere else in the world it's mostly Android in the mobile phones. Edit: What I mean with this comment is that HN has lots of readers outside of the US. Here using only iMessage would be a bit weird, and for that reason everybody uses either Signal or WhatsApp.

      Huh, i replaced europe with usa in the url and it gave me different figures than when you click the united states link. Still 50% isn't enough to warrant using iMessage. Especially the way we use chat apps these days.
