Comment on The state of open source SMS messagers

  I don’t know anyone in Canada that isn’t a new Canadian that uses anything other than the default sms app on their phone. (FBM and Insta and what not don’t count in my example).

  SMS is alive and well in Canada.

    My condolences. But seriously though, what if you want to have a group chat, or send a file?

      Plenty of group chats that mix iMessage and sms, just through iMessage, or just sms group chats.

      Most new Canadians I interact with have WhatsApp, however, as I understand that’s quite popular abroad.

        SMS doesn’t have group chats does it? Unless your client is just sending the same message to everyone and grouping together the responses?
