Most smartphone users in Singapore use WhatsApp for general texting too.
On the other hand, WeChat, LINE and KakaoTalk seem to have rather limited audiences here. (Much of the LINE usage between myself and friends is sticker spam.)
chrischen: What do iOS and Android users in your circles use for free cross-platform texting?
- chrischen 13y agoFor cross platform we just use Facebook message and SMS. I looked it up, and Whatsapp has very little market share in the US. In China it's pretty dominated by Wechat.
- Larrikin 13y agoHere in Japan it's hard to find anyone under 40 who doesn't use Line for nearly all their messages. The carriers make it extremely expensive for people to communicate with users on other networks so people just circumvent texting and calling with line. I've asked my friends why they use it and they all say because they like the stickers.The market was wide open for a while, it just took some good marketing.
- ValentineC 13y agoCurious: They've stopped using "email"? I'm guessing LINE's becoming ubiquitous because of the free functions and the cute stickers.
