As a way of unifying both Android and Apple phones.
For Apple users maybe it doesn't matter.
It'd basically be the benefits of iMessage for everyone.
Yeah, when I'm in Taiwan everyone uses Line or FB messenger.
California proposes a plan to tax text messages Vol. Green bubble gonna cost you

WhatsApp and WeChat >>>>>
There's one person on Earth I use texts with, and that's because he's a stubborn lazy @#$ that doesn't want to change. I'm pretty sure no one else I know regularly uses texts either

Does Android not have a iMessage type deal? Android to Android?

No, not really.
Because every OEM pre-installs their own messaging app. And most people just use what their phones give them.
SMS is essentially dead in every country except the US.

For me, most of my Japanese friends use Line, but most of my Taiwanese and Chinese friends use WeChat. I like WeChat better cause it has the translate function for when they try to say something that they don't know how to describe in English

Yeah, the Wechat translation is nice.
I know people typically use Wechat in Taiwan cause they got contacts in China.

If the government used the money it stole from us for stuff like health care and education how could it afford to keep up with it’s reckless spending?

I guess I’m old school cause I still text all the domestic homies. Company covers the whole bill. Edit - I guess it’s mostly iMessage after looking into it.
It’s whatsapp all day with international friends though.
Is it fair to assume the main reason people are off texts is cause cost, or is technology on other **** actually better?

Problem with SMS is that it’s slow, and the media (pics/vids) don’t send in good quality.

iMessage isn't SMS.
One of the things is cost, data is cheap af in other countries.
But here we still use "unlimited texts" in phone plans. In other countries you typically don't have that.

It's cause most people here in America are on mobile contracts and you usually get things like unlimited text/minute plans in those contracts. It's the norm. It's not like this in most other countries.
By default, everyone here has SMS/MMS.

Same here in Canada. But what drew me and my group a decade ago to whatsapp was the Group Chat and it was the first solid app to work on BB (when it was popular), iOS, and Android. Viber, FB Messenger, and Snap came in much later, so I was never used to their interfaces.
