They don't. At least not in my experience. I have an iPhone, but there's about a 50/50 split ios/android in my friends and family.
Group chats are almost entirely WhatsApp, and single messages are a blend of WhatsApp, iMessage and SMS.
I probably use SMS/MMS once a week
- kelnos 4y agoAs counterpoint, I am an Android user in the US, and 90%+ of my contacts are US-based iPhone users. While I do use Signal, WhatsApp, or GChat for nearly all of my group chats, I have 1-on-1 conversations over SMS daily, with quite a few people. I've managed to move a few of the 1-on-1 chats to Signal, but not many.
- cgrealy 4y agoI'm not sure I understand.... if 90%+ of your contacts are on iOS, why are you using SMS instead of iMessage? I wonder if that's a US based thing (I'm in NZ)?
