- aacid 3y agoI have no iphone yet I have blue box. Thanks to beeper. Am I a cool kid now?
- bcraven 3y agoThis rule applies to the US only. Everyone else uses WhatsApp.
- tasogare 3y agoNot really, WhatsApp is used in Europe, Middle East and India. Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea are on Line. China Weibo I think. Even in the West the market is fragmented with Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Discord, etc.
- lxgr 3y agoThe important commonality here being “not on iMessage”.
- WanderPanda 3y ago„just“ Europe, Middle East, India and South America (btw)
- CharlesW 3y agoThis is mostly apocryphal in the US as well, according to my school-age kids. They’ve been in many peer text chains over the years in several SoCal schools, and they’re invariably multi-platform (i.e. good ol’ green SMS/MMS).

- throw9away6 3y agoKids find lots of reasons to exclude.
