Plenty of people in the UK/Europe use third party apps already, iMessage is certainly less of a big deal than it is in the US.

Don't forget canada. So many people here use imessage or whatsapp

For sure. I live in Asia, and the Green vs Blue bubble thing that probably only exists in the US is just so mind boggling to me.

I live in germany and I don't know a single person that uses SMS or iMessage. Almost everyone here uses WhatsApp.

WhatsApp isn't much better. It's owned by Meta afterall!
