Speak for yourself. I'm not in the US and still prefer SMS, simply because you can port over your contacts and don't have to share them with shady businesses on a fscking platform, for freaking text messages, something we already did 30 years ago (not counting emails almost double as old).
- snehk 4y agoWhat country are you from where SMS messaging is more popular than apps?
- frosted-flakes 4y agoCanada
- miroljub 4y agoGood for you if you don't see your telecom provider as a shady company.

- sneak 4y agoThey're not completely unencrypted - they are encrypted with A5 between the handset and the tower. They are certainly not e2ee.
- WelcomeShorty 4y agoThey are completely unencrypted, just on the initial and the last "mile" the TRANSPORT layer is (sort of) encrypted.
