To be sure there is no misunderstanding: MMS (also pictures, images, video) or SMS (only text)? I checked my Android phone and it probably sends a MMS of I attach a picture to a message in the Messages app. First time I even noticed the icons to attach multimedia content. Never received one.

I used to work in a mobile operator (not Sweden) and MMS didn't have any usage worth talking about.

I also live in Sweden, and all pictures I send to my parents or grandparents are over MMS (the rest are on Facebook messenger or telegram). It is simply the most convenient way if you only have someone's phone number. Might be a cultural thing? I'm absolutely certain my usage of MMS is very common here.

It's probably a network effect. If enough people use them eventually everybody use them. I could be the only one among my friends to even know they exist.
