The achievement, announced in an official blog post, indicates a potential shift in the American messaging landscape, where WhatsApp has steadily gained ground despite the longstanding popularity of Apple's iMessage. The Meta-owned messaging app is extremely popular in Europe owing to its cross-platform compatibility.

The only reason I have whatsapp is because my neighborhood group chat uses it. I wish everyone moved to Signal.

For some reason, with the few people in my bubble who have installed Signal, we are sometimes missing notifications which never happens on Whatsapp. So you never know when the other end actually sees the message. That is a turnoff for most people and honestly for me too.
