It's not really choosing, it's more like being handed over form parents or being force to due to iMessage network effect with teens in the US. Which teens wants to choose to be left out of group conversations?
As an adult you can give fewer fucks about normie conformism, bubble colors and people being petty over it, but as a teen it would be a death sentence for your social life. Hence why the regulatory bodies are starting to twist Apple's arm over it.
- boplicity 3y ago> as a teen it would be a death sentence No wonder teens these days have extremely high rates of anxiety & depression.
- eddd-ddde 3y agoHonestly it's weird how this is a thing in the US. In what I believe is most of the world, people just use WhatsApp, no sms, no iMessage. Same is true for any demography as well. Maybe add some Instagram for the younger groups.
- Rinzler89 3y agoYounger groups mostly message on Snapchat not Instagram. Instagram is still mostly for pictures and "influencing".
- eddd-ddde 3y agoWell at least where I grew up Snapchat never really caught on. Instagram kinda held its place.
- rezonant 3y agoIt's almost like everyone who comes in to say "people all just use Whatsapp" are going from anecdotal evidence, while the reality is Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Telegram, iMessage, SMS and Tiktok all have a share of that messaging pie-- these people just live in message app bubbles.
- rezonant 3y agoI sure hope you're right!
