It's a shame that iMessage isn't an option (for users, not in the poll!). It's nothing like a perfect option, but if anything is going to beat WhatsApp for mindshare it's something from Apple which already has an enormous non-tech userbase. I know the reflex answer is "they won't do it because iPhone exclusivity sells iPhones" but suspect that's increasingly only true in the US. People here are describing how phones there are increasingly WhatsApp-running platforms, and Apple would be wise to prevent that while it can. Might also offer them an upsell route for their other cross-platform services.
