Do people on androids in the US actually use SMS?

My experience in the UK and France is WhatsApp/telegram have basically 100% penetration and SMS is only used by businesses and 2fa

Yes. I've never used whatsapp or telegram. I use SMS weekly or daily.

... a very US thing for people with iPhones. Which exist in a ratio of about 9:1 vs Android users, apparently.

Same here in Spain. I have not communicated over SMS with a real person for 5 years or so. Only thing I get is MFA and spam crap.

Same in Australia although American cultural bullshit tends to leak/be adopted. So the blue/green bubble probably will become a thing with our teenagers after they import it via social media.
