Sorry, what? Not sure if you’re joking, but Americans use texts because they’re free and the ability to use them comes preloaded on the phone (no need to download something that takes up more space). I have Signal and WhatsApp on my phone for my international friends, but I use texts to communicate with US friends because RCS works with everyone and it’s integrated much better into my phone, watch, etc. than any app can be without an absurd amount of permissions given to the app.
The entire rest of the world doesn’t whine about such things and just uses a 3rd party messenger that works the same across all platforms.
This is such a dumb take… “Lol Americans all using SMS! We prefer to install 4 different messaging apps to talk to people, and can’t do shit if we end up in an area with low reception”

American problems
Which is why Americans use it? Sorry you struggle to put two and two together…
No, American iPhone users use iMessage. American Android users wished they had iMessage. It’s an ideological thing.
No, American iPhone users use iMessage and think they’re superior. American Android users don’t give a fuck and think it’s hilarious that iOS users think they’re superior because they used dumbed down devices that nag for money everywhere.
You should consider staying in your own lane…
Australia checking in.
Everyone can send and receive SMS. It’s always the primary /default contact method.
Close friends can be contacted via whatever third party app but there’s no single platform everyone uses other than SMS.
