I've known about this for awhile now but having only lived in countries where absolutely everyone uses a messaging app (particular app differing per country) it still baffles me every single time I hear about it.
How do you handle group chats? Especially with more than a couple of people? Is sending pictures and videos included with your plans too? If not how do you handle those? How about video calling? Sending a file e.g. an Excel file?
Let alone features like easily creating a vote/poll, a calendar event, a banner notification..
I get that most of these features may not be useful to everyone but surely they are to groups of teens and college students, demographics that have shown to often drive growth in communication apps.
We'll sometimes do SMS group chats with a small number of people. For videos, other files, scheduling video calls, etc. we mostly just use email. For video calling, we use Zoom, Google Meet, etc. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone doing a poll outside of Twitter.
