    The problem is that, in the US and Canada, android users don’t tend to use those apps en masse. The vast majority use SMS.

      I think at this point the majority of Android users use RCS, which Apple is actually going to implement next year.

        That’s good to know. Though I wish people I knew, both apple and android, would switch to Signal instead.

          It’s not as good as we want it to be. Those using RCS on Android are almost all using Google’s specific implementation, Apple is instead going to be using a more standard implementation. It’s probably going to work better than SMS, but it’s going to be a far cry from everyone just using any modern internet messaging service.
