I would think the obvious answer to this question is those that don't use signal.

I have no need to have separate texting programs for separate functions on my phone.

signal used to do sms. it doesn't anymore. so I've moved on. does that help you?

    The answer is not as obvious. Those that don’t use Signal may use Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram DMs, Google Chat, even Slack or Discord.

    Sending SMS is like using a fax at this point. It’s ridiculous to even consider doing it.

    The state of messaging in the US is absurd and only explained by this kind of behavior. The rest of the world moved on from SMS over a decade ago and have zero issues communicating with people no matter what OS their device has.

    listen you'll get no argument from me on that. I wish I could just use discord for everything. I just love my friends even if they use sms. in some cases these are not internet heavy users.

    these are just normal people who use their phones to call, text and play mahjong. that's it.

    I'm not going to hold a seminar and try to talk them all into an app they'd get no real use out of other than talking to just one person.
