This is entirely a USA problem. No one in Europe uses iMessage as their primary messaging app.
What do they use? Whatsapp? Wechat? Signal?
Whatsapp
Over here it's Facebook Messenger, followed by Telegram and only then WhatsApp. Signal is niche stuff for nerds such as yours truly.
Where I live it’s mostly whatsapp
Yeah it actually varies a lot. In Poland Whatsapp is the boomer messaging app for cringy political memes used exclusively by 50+ year-olds. Everyone else uses Facebook Messenger and Telegram (especially Ukrainians, Belarussians and people who work with them)
Depends on the country but mostly WhatsApp followed in second place by Telegram
Germany uses Whatsapp and Signal. Whatsapp for the older generation, Signal for the younger ones. But almost everyone has both. Telegram is a niche messenger for conspiracy theorists and alt-righters, because it's russian and those people love Russia.
Yea, that's totally why people I know use Telegram / 🤦♂️
Telegram is a nice messenger with good usability and funny stickers. The provider also doesn't hand out user data to authorities willy nilly, so it's popular among privacy-minded people of all political affiliations.
FTFY
And I refuse to use any Facebook products, so what’s app can fuck right off
