> I don’t know what things are like in Android land, but if 95% of your messaging is in one app it feels like a real hassle to adopt another app for just one person/group.

I'm experiencing that with WhatsApp (in Israel it's pretty much 95%+ WhatsApp). I moved from Android to iOS, and WA have yet to add cross-platform migration ("in the coming months"), and I don't trust any of the 3-4 sketchy apps that offer this. So I end up using WhatsApp Web and switched to texting for family members.

This led to more than a couple "oops I forgot I need to text you" because iOS Safari doesn't allow web notifications, and I didn't check WhatsApp Web yet.
