How though
No idea. It’s just not a platform anyone in my life has used in a manner that dragged me in.
Cool
Two letters. US.
They use SMS still.
Unless everyone they know has iPhones.
Then it’s iMessage.
Surely it can't be so popular it's inconceivable to you that someone hasn't used it.
If you live in most of Europe or definitely Latin America, yeah, it is so popular it's kind of inconceivable not to use it, or at least hard to imagine. I genuinely don't understand how people in the US communicate.
You text someone. What're you talking about?
If you send an SMS in Europe, you get no answer most of the time
All the better
I've used SMS exactly 3 times in my life, all 10+ years ago. My phone plan doesn't even include SMS anymore. It boggles my mind that people use SMS in the US, and I mean that seriously.
It is. To stay in contact with anyone you need whatsapp.
Well I'm glad that isn't happening here, because I would just have to miss everything.
