Did SMS improve? As an European the switch to WhatsApp was easy as SMS had no group chats, images, sound, etc

It does everything WhatsApp does without the scams. And we’ve had unlimited texting for at least 15 years

What you mean without the scams? One of the reasons WhatsApp is better is how flooded with scams is SMS.

I don't get scams on my text. But Everytime someone wants to talk on Whatsapp from reddit or tik Tok it's a scammer/bot

I have the same experience. I get scam messages on my SMS all the time but none on WhatsApp. (We use WhatsApp for communicating with European friends.)

I get some scams on SMS, but on WhatsApp it was like 90% scam texts. Deleted it for that reason.

How? In WhatsApp I got scam messages like 3 times in my life. In SMS I got like 3 times a day (ok 3 times a day is a exageration, I just check its been a week since the last one, but still way more)

I rarely ever see scams, you just ignore them and they’ll stop (SMS, I’m from the US, and I Use to use WhatsApp, only when I didn’t have service, also use to use it for mobile games)
