Most Swedes I know use iMessage actually. That's very anecdotal tho
- soco 3y agoSwiss datapoint: my whole extended family/friends circle has iPhones and they only use WhatsApp (and FaceTime for video). I'm not even sure I ever heard the name "iMessage" before.
- kube-system 3y ago> I'm not even sure I ever heard the name "iMessage" before Nobody I know colloquially calls it that in the US either. The app is called "messages", and people just call it "texting"... "on an iPhone". I don't think most people even realize it is not SMS/MMS.
- lalaithion 3y ago> I don't think most people even realize it is not SMS/MMS Nobody knows what SMS or MMS are either.
- sakex 3y agoHey I'm also swiss but we have a weird edge case where most people have an iPhone but still use WhatsApp
- 10729287 3y agoFrench here. I still use iMessage for family and friends one to one discussions but group chats are exclusively on WhatsApp here… and I’ve got tons. Too much. For every circle and sometimes more than one per circle depending on the subject. Are US people using iMessage for this ?
- hwbehrens 3y ago> Are US people using iMessage for this? Often, yes.
- SiempreViernes 3y agoI think this mostly tells us you are an American with an Iphone, in Sweden other apps are popular to the point that the Mac media celebrates the release of an WhatsApp beta: https://www.macworld.se/article/2077773/whatsapp-kommer-antligen-till-ipad.html https://www.macworld.se/article/2077773/whatsapp-kommer-antl...
