They dropped the native sms integration. IMO, that was the best tool for adoption.

Depends on the market. In Europe SMS has become a separate, mostly read-only medium. We use it as a sort of notification channel for doctor appointments, due bills, online tickets, payment confirmations etc. Mixing this channel into a general purpose messenger app would actually hurt its adoption IMO.
