I really don't get the need to have an app that does messaging. My phone DOES messaging, built in. Why do I need another one?
I assume you're American? When you need to talk to people across borders you need something like WhatsApp. SMS doesn't cut it.
I'd rather use Signal but whatever.. I'm being practical. Everyone I know is on WhatsApp.
The moment when I hear someone talking about SMS it is almost always an American. Can’t recall the last time I sent a text message to someone like that, wouldn’t surprise me if it was 10 years ago (for context: am Dutch)
Yes, as long as there's charges for sending stuff to other countries, we are stuck with WhatsApp. :/
