They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.

    Yeah SMS is used a lot in North America, especially in the US, and especially by older people.

      I believe it’s due to North America making text messages free early on, while many other places charged for them. As a result, the culture of texting stuck.

      Yeah, that’s true. You don’t want to know how many times I’ve messaged someone on an arguably better platform only for them to say, “I prefer text”. It’s annoying…
