Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I've learned from this post… Most people in Croatia use Viber!

    At least in the EU they will be forced to do something, with the DMA going into effect next year.

    And if one big market forces them, chances are they'll adopt these changes worldwide to have no fragmentation to worry about.

      I believe Apple successfully demonstrated iMessage does not meet the minimum user threshold to be forced to open that platform to third party applications.

          I think it was something like 10% of the EU population has to use a platform, before it is mandated to be open. I message isn't that popular currently. I agree it is very hilarious
