iMessage is a relic, most people in Europe use WhatsApp and alternatives in other continents. The whole blue/green thing is just Apple-driven hype to remember folks that iMessage even exists.

This is not the case. WhatsApp is only prevalent outside the United States and doesn't compare to iMessage in terms of features, privacy, security, long-term storage of messages and media, etc.

As an Australian, you're wrong. The "blue/green" is US media driven clickbait, but iMessage is prevelant in many countries I've been to.
