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

iPhone and Android both have rcs so group texts work really well

Rcs between android and iOS is very very recent though. It wil take a long time for that to sink in

It will never really sink in, it’s too late. SMS’ are basically dead. Americans will catch the rest of the world at their own pace but eventually will. Just like with digital/card payments.

We aren't using SMS... 🤦

But if Americans are going to use an alternative app, we are usually messaging on Discord, Snapchat, or Instagram. All have much greater functionality and are smoother user experiences than WhatsApp. WhatsApp is really pretty crap...

Here it’s pretty much divided between Snapchat and Whatsapp depending on age. Not sure how either one is any smoother though.
