I know WhatsApp is very popular to keep in contact with each other especially when people live in different regions or internationally. No one really uses Facebook Messenger. My kid's have used Messenger Kids a lot though this past year mostly because of the pandemic. If it wasn't for the lockdowns I don't think Messenger Kids would have been as active as it was.

30s I agree, there has been a slow steady drop.
13+ not using it at all.
What I've observed in the past year, is that messenger-kids has become very popular with the under 13 crowd, and it's dragging parents back into messenger. in 5 years that under 13 crowd will be the tip of the social media spear.

It's a social media thread, so I don't want to get into why Apple is the worst. But;
- planned obsolescence
borderline theft of intellectual property
locking other platforms out in an effort to create mini-monopolies
bad corporate citizenship
over priced
If you think you data is somehow magically safe because your on the apple platform your dreaming, and to the extent that they were less virus laden in the early 2000's while building that reputation, that's because nobody gave a crap about apple back then, not be cause they were more secure. It's been a long time since there was a noticeable difference in security, most it probably comes down to how many stupid game apps you download from foreign publishers.
