    In a lot of countries, especially in Europe, most texting happens over WhatsApp.

    Cell providers took a long time providing free SMS/MMS, especially internationally, and lots of people in Europe have international contacts. So apps like WhatsApp became the go-to, since you could just use your data plan to message.
