Wow this topic has been incredibly informative. I knew absolutely nothing about WhatsApp except the name until now.

Regular texting as in SMS?

most phone companies in europe charge you extra for SMS packs so it's pretty much dead now here, with the exception of receiving confirmation codes

This part specifically kinda blew my mind. I had no idea. Unlimited texting has been the norm here in the US for like, a decade now. I was wondering why so many people were talking about using messaging apps in 2019 until I saw this. Makes sense now.

In Qatar, my text messaging is nothing more than a more annoying spam email folder

A bunch of stores have my number somehow - I presume they sold it to each other or bought it off the government or some shit - so almost any text I get that isn't a confirmation code is an ad for a store

I haven't uses SMS to text an actual person in almost 5 years

Businesses have kinda just started sending text ads here. Like I work at CVS and we've been spamming the shit out of people trying to get them to let us text them stuff. It's really annlying and I don't look forward to that future.

I also use hangouts with domestic friends. The downsides for me are you can't edit posts and non-YouTube links won't display thumbnails.
