This just in, teen prefers to message with friends via Discord, but uses iMessage to message parents who are also on iMessage and not discord. We must file an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple, stat!

Do you realize how ridiculous this reasoning is?

No where have I argued for antitrust. I'm just saying iMessage is probably the most used messaging app in the US, others are claiming it's not without any data.

So quick question, why do you get to claim something without data but others have to back up their claims with data?

Anyway, I can't find anything that is specifically about the US in 2023 (so far) that isn't requiring a payment for a large sum, but everything else I found seems to back up the claims by everyone else.

Most of them don't even include iMessage in the top 10, and the one that does has it in like 8th place with one caveat, facetime itself is 2nd to Facebook Messenger which absolutely dominated the list.

That's because the data doesn't exist. Even the site you linked said they don't have data for iMessage.

I'm calling out people for making a claim without any evidence. I'm not providing evidence because there isn't any.

I can't tell if that's intentional sarcasm or something else.
