I don’t really get messaging apps. I have discord on my phone but I disabled notifications because my phone buzzes any time someone posts anything in any community I’m a part of and it was getting really annoying. I also don’t use it for messaging, I just use it for the voice lobbies.
My wife hates this. Notifications are the devil. I don’t need them or want them. I will check in when I damn well feel like it. If I don’t, I’m probably busy.
Edited! I did mean America. Google seems to indicate that Mexico does use SMS as the primary function of a cell phone for about 30% of cell phones, but that WhatsApp is the most popular messaging service. Canadians use SMS.
I’m sure there is but I never bothered, just disabled the notifications in my android settings. People who know me know that if they wanna contact me they can call or text so it’s never really been an issue.

Other than that, I text exclusively.
You can adjust it in settings so it only sends you notifications when someone DMs you or specifically mentions you in can.
I don’t let anything give notifications that aren’t SMS or phone.
I even turned SMS notifications off for a while.
My phone has been on silent for like 7 years.

I had my phone set to silent for a few years, it was quite tranquil
SMS? People really uses those!?
Like 100% of US/Canada does, yes.
Maybe you meant USA, Mexico is part of North America and WhatsApp reigns here, sadly.

Aren’t SMS the least secure messaging system?
Also I’m pretty sure if I send one of those to any relatives would just never reply back lol.
The only use I give them is when an app requires some verification with SMS text.

You let people CALL you!? The horror.
