predominate is not a real word even though it's made its way into some
dictionaries just like a lot of other made up words. "Predominant" is the word you're looking for.

It surprises me people still use text. The U.S. needs to catch up and start using WhatsApp. So much better experience.

Encryption. Unlimited groups. Works on all platforms (even PCs). Can do polls and loads of other features. Better search

Tell us about the encryption details. Are there vulnerabilities? Who controls it? Is Facebook encryption of any value

Facebook encryption is not reliable.

I don't text enough for it to really matter either way.

Poverty countries do weird things, like use a messaging app owned by Facebook.

If by “weird” you mean far superior, then I agree with you. The U.S. is way behind the world in this regard.

If you think the US is so behind, maybe you should LEAVE

I don't trust ANYTHING that Zuckerberg/Facebook/Meta touches and I feel sorry for those who do.

How many crypto groups have you been added to this week?

Zero, ever.

Ugh. I get added to crappy groups multiple times a week. No thanks.

Update your settings to not allow being added to groups. Easy fix.

100% agree. I hadn't even heard of Whatsapp until I met my wife in

That's all good except for those I want to contact who dont have the app.

But WhatsApp is around and used—just not the predominate texting app in the US.

I agree it’s not a technology thing. The U.S. started with texts and doesn’t like to change in mass (which is required)

In this case I think it has to do with a distrust in big tech. Everyone in my grad program used WhatsApp until...

I've never been an iPhone user, but Signal works great. It does video and voice when needed...

I agree with all of this. Signal is great. I wish it had a larger reach.

Maybe for a small fraction, but 150m people in U.S. use TikTok.

Signal. Because it's not owned by big tech, its open source, and encrypted

WhatsApp is better than SMS sure, but it’s not better for me than iMessage.
