I imagine blue-bubble FOMO is more popular within the US because most younger Americans use text messaging instead of WhatsApp/Telegram like you would find in Europe or South America (aside from occasional group chats or college teamwork)

In France, SMS is still the most common message medium. It's free, it works, there's no app needed. Messaging app are wildly dependent on social circles and age groups. I'm forced to use 5 of them...

Most younger Americans (and people of many other countries) use Discord.

  For daily messaging to friends and family?

    Friends, yes, and family if they're on Discord as well. The IRC style of group communication genuinely works better than a ton of different group chats.

  Lol completely untrue outside of a demographic of people online. Maybe the people in computer science majors at universities, not your average young American

    Talking about 13-17 year olds here, people who aren't old enough to be in universities.
