Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I’ve learned from this post… Most people in Croatia use Viber!

          They won’t use it until they are forced to 100%. iMessage has become a reason people get iphones. Peer pressure at its finest.

              I believe Apple successfully demonstrated iMessage does not meet the minimum user threshold to be forced to open that platform to third party applications.

                  I think it was something like 10% of the EU population has to use a platform, before it is mandated to be open. I message isn’t that popular currently. I agree it is very hilarious

                    I guess that checks out. WhatsApp is by far the most popular messaging service in Europe, even some Apple users take it over iMessage between one another

        I have some fruit booter friends. I peer pressured then into signal the same way other people peer pressuresd them into buying an iPhone.

        I think it’s pretty poetic.

        Hey Bob, I got these photos I should send you, do you have signal? No, you really should, end to end encryption is a basic human right. Here hand me your phone I’ll help you set it up. Hey look at that you got a bunch of people already using signal. All right here are the photos I promised you.
