After slowly phasing the app out in some regions, Samsung has announced that it will no longer pre-install Samsung Messages…
You’re the only one whining.
No, I’m actually very amused by Americans’ unwillingness to install a proper messenger and whine about green and blue bubbles.
Bragging about everyone using Meta to communicate is not the dunk you think it is.
The only messengers I mentioned by name were Signal and Telegram. You must me have confused with someone else.

No one is doing that. You must have this thread confused with another one.

While I agree that Signal is an excellent choice, almost no one uses it, which is exactly why its an insufficient replacement for SMS. It’s been pointed out in several threads that WhatsApp is basically a societal expectation in Europe so I assume that’s what your referring to.
Telegram is the only option that’s even worse than Meta.

All those stubborn Americans do that, whether they spell it out all the time out not.

Not with the attitude to refuse to install 3rd party messengers in the first place.

In different regions around the world, different messengers are the norm (for example Line in Japan). Only Americans are zealous defenders of archaic SMS.

Lolno.

Okay so you admit you were just fabricating this argument?

It doesn’t matter what your attitude is.

Do you live in Japan?

Once again, you’re fabricating arguments. No one is defending SMS. But it’s the only method that gets the job done 100% of the time, regardless of what apps are installed on your phone.
Lolno.
Bruh it doesn’t even have E2EE…
