A problem I have is that I live abroad and everyone in the states uses iMessage so it’s difficult to get people to use other messaging apps.

So I’m kinda locked in unless I want to go through the trouble of making international calls or sending emails and asking someone to install an app so I can call them.

It’s not an easy task, it it was then this would be a nonissue.

That’s because we don’t use other messaging apps like what’s app, not because of Apple. It would be the same thing on android. iMessage also sends texts to non Apple devices.
