How do people still use text messages

Text is super simple. Built in to every phone, universal compatibility, no downloads/accounts to deal with, don’t have to track which of your friends is on which protocol…

There’s 1000’s of reasons to use something else, but it’s already there & takes zero effort to use which makes it the default.
