I too live outside the US, and never use SMS for communicating with another human. It's all WhatsApp/Signal etc. WhatsApp is ubiquitous.

I'm curious — do Americans use SMS a lot (as opposed to things like WhatsApp)?

I was in US a few years ago, and from what I gathered most people did not use WhatsApp. Don't know if the situation has changed.

Yes, SMS usage is quite frequent. I use some other apps for groupchats or talking to foreign friends. It depends on your social circle, I have groupchats with SMS, GroupMe, Matrix/Element, and Kakaotalk.

In Korea I never used SMS, just Kakaotalk 99% of the time.
