I don't know about Android as I got sucked into the the Apple ecosystem early on, but FaceTime satisfies the video chat component. Android users can use Skype, I believe. I personally don't use gifs/stickers etc (what is the age range of the people using these things? Not judging, just curious) but some people I know use bitmoji in their iMessages. "Voice chat"... isn't that aka a telephone call?

People.. are these your real life friends and coworkers or online only? If they are real life people, they should be happy to contact you in whichever way you are reachable. Not sure why you would have to have facebook messenger otherwise fear dropping out of the social sphere. Is this a self-fulfilling FOMO situation?
