Are they not allowed to do it for users in Europe?

EU has consumer protections miles ahead of the US. Sometimes Americans get good things from it anyway. Example from just today - my wife’s iPhone began working with RCS format so now we can send photos to each other without them looking like shit. We were using Whatsapp for photos.

I wish that were the case. I travel often for work so we send a lot of photos.

Why not just use signal like adults?

I have only managed to get one friend on signal. I got my wife on Whatsapp before signal existed (and before Facebook owned Whatsapp) for traveling outside the country, and now she won’t switch.

Americans overwhelmingly use SMS (RCS) for everything. And Facebook Messenger 🤮. I refuse to install that even though I’m sure Whatsapp isn’t any better by now.
