Kinda makes me glad we have WhatsApp dominance in Europe.
For all it's faults at least we're not trapped in an Apple Ecosystem where all other phones still use SMS!
I haven't sent an SMS in maybe 13 years. It's amazing it's still so widely used in the US because of iMessage lockout.
- a1445c8b 4y agoiMessage doesn’t use SMS when communicating with other iPhones.
- apexalpha 4y agoBut it does fallback to SMS when communication with any other OS (I guess now just Android). Which is kinda the point. WhatsApp doesn't do this, it works on all platforms.
