IPhone users have access to WhatsApp, Signal, and other apps android users use to communicate without sms

The problem is that, in the US and Canada, android users don’t tend to use those apps en masse. The vast majority use SMS.

I think at this point the majority of Android users use RCS, which Apple is actually going to implement next year.

That’s good to know. Though I wish people I knew, both apple and android, would switch to Signal instead.

Yeah, but iphone users are different as they already have some default app that they could use instead of installing other apps. Wouldn’t they want to use that default app as often as possible if their partners have the same ability from their pov? I mean it’s not about the color as the original comment thinks, but about the stuff that the different color implies. Not the thing that is nice to the eyes, but the actual convenience and price.
