90% of people I message with use WhatsApp or Signal (and most of them use iPhones). I keep hearing about iOS messaging lock in, but I've never experienced it.

It’s a US only thing. And only for people in the US who don’t regularly communicate with people outside the US.

I moved out of the US and most of my US friends I still have to use iMessage to talk to. Only a few are active on WhatsApp.

Are you in the US? Every time that comes up that tends to be a huge divide. US uses iMessage, other countries don’t.
