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
