iMessage is far more common in the US afaik. Whereas most people elsewhere will use WhatsApp or whatever, nobody in my extended family uses anything but iMessage to communicate
Really? Mine defaults to SMS if they don’t receive it as an iMessage message. I can’t recall it ever failing, only a long while back I would get a failure that prompts me to send as SMS - and I’d do it. It’s automatic now.

Ah, yeah right, the US is still stuck in the 00s with that (and payment methods).
But iMessage doesn’t work on Android and by default the message will just fail if they have an Android phone and you use iMessage.
That is interesting. In Europe it just switches to text message automatically when sending to people with android.
In The Netherlands it doesn’t and last time I checked we are still part of Europe lol
iMessage will use SMS for 2 person conversations with Android, MMS for groups (and if your carrier disabled MMS it doesn’t work IIRC)
Yes it should, but by default it doesn’t, at least not in NL
