      Yes, their users don’t really care. Beyond the fact that it’s what everyone they tend to talk to uses. And it’s annoying to them when they have to talk to people who don’t.

        In my experience this attitude is pretty common.

            It’s no different than any other common platform. Ask a bunch of FB Messenger users to jump on a group text because one person doesn’t have a Meta account, or ask a WhatsApp user to interact with anyone outside that app.

              That’s true but it’s neither an app or a common platform.
              It’s an exclusive one, hence the headline.

                You’re right, it’s not an app, it’s a communication platform – much bigger.

                And, with Apple’s marketshare in North America, it’s more common than almost any app.
