Wut? MMS is extremely popular, given that picking the messaging app to share photos and videos will use MMS.

  It's certainly not popular in the UK. It's just too expensive. It costs ~ £0.50 per mms to send so people will just use email / facebook / whatsapp / whatever.

  Perhaps in USA is popular, in Spain and Italy it is not very popular because it is expensive and other messaging solutions are used, like Whatsapp

  MMS as in telecom operator carried multimedia messages? I thought phones didn't even support this anymore. I've never seen anybody using it, and I wouldn't know how to send one. All the multimedia messages I see people using are transmitted through the Internet.

    In my experience in the US, it's still the primary way of sending graphics/pictures via phone.

      Yep, didn't point that. My experience is at Brazil.

      It really boils down to if people pay or not. In the US most people are still on a monthly plan that includes "unlimited texts" (inc. MMS). In many other places a single MMS can cost you between 5c-$1, so people use WhatsApp, Google+, or many other free (or cheaper) alternatives. But MMS is definitely popular in certain regions. It is also very unpopular in regions. If you're in the UK you could very easily disable MMS, but in the US? I wouldn't...

    Open text messaging app on android -> attach image -> hit send There, it sent an MMS. It's transparent to the user. Non-MMS: Hangouts to another Google user, Whatsapp, Telegram, Viber, etc etc
