US high schooler here. I use SMS pretty frequently if you count iMessage, maybe real SMS with 2 or 3 people.
I use a lot of messaging apps, just not SMS. Partly for privacy reasons, partly for convenience.

Hmm. Convenience is the exact reason I'd give for staying away from "a lot of messaging apps" and using primarily SMS. I've got a couple friends that really like Signal, so that's the only other messaging app I ever install.
Interesting. I think I use SMS for more people than every other phone-based method of contact put together.
