Barely anyone uses sms nowadays. People use WhatsApp, FB Messenger and co (outside of the USA).

I think people who downvoted you did so after reading just your first sentence and not the entire comment. Outside of USA, I don't think anybody uses SMS for anything other than the occasional OTP or bank message.

In India, nobody used anything other than WhatsApp till a few years ago. Now, teenagers use Instagram's chat feature and WhatsApp, and middle-aged adults use FB Messenger and WhatsApp.

I do not use Meta apps. I use just SMS/iMessage and Signal. So most of the time it is SMS, since this is outside of USA and not many people use Signal.

But even I send 'green bubble' from iPhone to iPhone sometimes. If there is no good internet coverage.
