The elephant in the room, of course, is that this is literally only a problem in the United States. Everywhere else in the world, folks are totally fine using messaging apps. WhatsApp is pretty popular worldwide, and there are regional favorites too. But, the point is, it’s only in the States that people seem to be against this idea. The answer for why is very much up for debate, but the conversation is, at this point, just getting exhausting.
Can confirm, as a Brit. We probably would have a sardonic explanation for why only people in the States are against using other messengers too…

I’m Canadian and use a ton of messaging services. It had honestly become ridiculous until I started using Beeper!
I think this might be changing in the U.S., because my friend group only talks on Discord. I don’t even have their phone numbers.
