I think there is plenty of SMS usage in Europe.

It's easy as a technically savy user to lose sight on what less proficient users are using.

Yes, my parents both use perfectly fine their WhatsApp but they still send/receive a lot of SMS.

For context, I'm in France.

That’s interesting. I know a lot of people who WhatsApp with their grandparents though. All you have to do is install it on their phones once and then their phone becomes “the WhatsApp” in my experience
