@adivreactions: British people are apparently upset that we don't use WhatsApp in America, America which is an entire different country with different customs, culture and norms. they're obsessed with what Americans do. #whatsapp #british #ukvsusa
Why do I need an app to text when I can just text?

Both android and iPhone has their own built in messaging app! WHY DOWNLOAD ANOTHER APP to do the thing your phone already does and it’s built in!

Also when communicating between Android and iOS, we’re using RCS and not SMS. So there’s literally no difference in quality and it’s virtually the same as iMessage and WhatsApp.

You're the one who explained it best. I'm Colombian, and it's the same situation here. We started using WhatsApp because it was free, and by the time text messages became free, we were already used to using WhatsApp.

I use WhatsApp only for international friends and family. In the U.S. it’s either text message or FB Messenger.

Why does it even matter what app is or is not being used? The messages are getting sent!

I don’t use WhatsApp because the moment I do I receive scam calls and texts. I only use it if I absolutely have to.

Penny’s Point of View :
It’s a Meta app, so I definitely don’t use it, even when my international friends ask me to.

Why would I download another app to do the thing the app already does that I have on my phone?

I don’t use what’s app because it’s owned my Meta, and I’m no fan of anything that’s connected to Mark Zuckerberg.

Whatsapp is owned by Meta and I'd rather use an encrypted messaging app.

I’m also not opening a different app to “use sms” imessage just sends the right sort of message to the person I’m texting with.

I don't know if iPhone is still the US standard but the issue with iPhone and androids is actually an intentional iPhone design. It's not present for the android users. There are lawsuits about it. It's part of the apple cult, trying to convince users that it's a superior product without actually being innovative or better. It's, in fact, worse.
