Over here everyone uses WhatsApp. Don’t expect the EU to solve this particular problem for you.
You spelled Telegram* wrong... 😢
There are some regional differences. But iMessage is definitely not a monopoly anywhere.
Oh. It very much is in the US for the school aged crowd. Which means in the US there's currently about 85% of all kids growing up and becoming adults who are used to using an iPhone.
Yup, where I live, everyone uses Line. The only time I ever use iMessage is to talk with my brother back in the US. iMessage gets ignored because it’s full of spam for me.
It's already in the works. All big messenger services will have to allow federation. So that you may use whatever messenger you please. This should break up the iMessage and the WhatsApp lock-in.
Germany? Ideleted it today
