The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.

For voice calls, most use regular phone calls here, it just works better (and VoLTE/VoWiFi is great addition to sound quality). Apps are only used when you are making video calls.
As for messages, it's much easier to send images/videos via whatsapp/signal than it's via SMS. + replies/reactions. Probably main reason why people use apps instead SMS (even while many/most of our plans include unlimited data/sms/calls). RCS added those features IIRC, but why switch to another solution while apps works just fine and most of people already are used to Whatsapp đ€·ââïž
And most of the people here has Whatsapp installed, so usually you don't have to guess what app to use :P
