    Why this obsession with iMessage? Why not Signal/Whatsapp/Telegram?

      Basically no one in North America, or at least the US, uses those. Every phone comes with SMS text built into it; there’s basically no issue going between carriers, and numbers are easy. WhatsApp is very useful for people who might be messaging across country lines, or to a phone that’s not from the same country. That’s not an issue here, so no one bothers.

          And no one in the US uses a third party app including android users and thus no way to msg ppl you know on these third party apps.
