      I don’t know any person using sms for regular communication, everyone I know uses some kind of messenger app.

        Like Whatsapp? I prefer to minimize the amount of data Facebook collects on me.

          SMS can literally be read by anyone spinning up a fake mobile tower, there is no e2e encryption and probably a few other security concerns I don’t even know, I’ll use WhatsApp before I use SMS as secure communication.

          Edit: RCS fixes (some of?) this but at this point why not use something even better?

        Nearly everyone I know is still using SMS, even if they’re also messaging using another app.
