Maybe in your social circles that's true, but everyone I know has started to rely on Messenger for almost all their non-professional communication. It's simultaneously killing both email and SMS.

Here it's WhatsApp. Just about everyone is using it. Many people are using FB Messenger or Threema or whatnot, but WhatsApp is reigning supreme.

Messenger == Facebook Messenger?

Please specify for those of us that don't use it. There's been several apps known as 'Messenger' over the years.

Yes. At least among my social circle, it's become the go-to messaging platform.
