It depends on the country you're in and what country your extended family is in. Whatsapp absolutely dominates in South Asia and South America. You can see a full map here: https://www.messengerpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/s...

Most Americans, for example, have no need for it. I feel like iMessage is the dominant messaging platform in the U.S.

That's an unbelievably poorly colored map -- 3 subtly different shades of green, 3 subtly different shades of blue. It's almost as though a colorblind designer set out to make everyone else suffer.

iMessage is iOS right? because the link you post shows facebook messenger is strongest in the US.

That diagram is for Android only, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
