Honest question: who even uses this bullshit?
Mostly, people with friends.
Phew, dodged that bullet ๐
I always do that Neo dodge, but we all know how that ended.
WhatsApp and Messenger are the #1 and #3 most used messaging apps in the world. (#2 is WeChat)
In Australia where I'm from, Messenger is the most popular by far.
All my mates still sms which feel like one step from the bush telephone these days.
Students, especially in the Philippines and some 3rd world countries. You can basically use Messenger and Facebook without data, just without images or video. For the sake of accessibility schools tend to use these services.
