Yes. Similarly I hear a lot about iMessage, but in my country (Ireland) no one I know uses it. Whatsapp pretty much supplanted SMS, FB Messenger, Viber (which had a good early start here) and was dominant enough that it basically left iMessage, Signal and Telegram with no way to gain ground here.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoiMessages’ big advantage is sending and receiving full quality images/video. My WhatsApp groups that all had iPhones switched to iMessage groups as a result. Best use case is at a wedding or event or on vacation when you want to share pictures/video with others. Simplest mechanism is to send it to them via iMessage.
