> I personally don't know any iPhone user who doesn't also have an alternate messaging app installed on their device.

90% of the people I know with iPhones don't have any messaging apps other than iMessage. I've tried to get them on Signal or WhatsApp, complete refusal.



You don’t know anyone with Snapchat or Facebook? They’re both used pretty heavily for messaging.


Facebook uses a separate app that most people don’t have. Snapchat isn’t really for having conversations since it disappears so quickly.


The Facebook messenger app is ranked higher in the iOS App Store than WhatsApp or Snapchat.

I don’t believe I know anyone who doesn’t have it, even people who don’t use FB like myself have it.

You can also message through the Fb app without using the Messenger app.


Sounds highly unlikely. You surveyed these people? “90%…”


I ask most people I text to use signal or whatsApp. None of them have it.
