How WhatsApp for business changed the world
In Spain I guess it is because SMS have never been free (or similar). It took off well before wifi was widespread in homes and offices, IIRC.
Edit: it costs me around .10€ to send an SMS...

My plan includes free SMS, but nobody is capable of reading or sending SMS anymore. Mobile phones can only have three apps: phone, WhatsApp and shop discount apps

In Italy SMS are included in the monthly plan since many years, but everyone is using WhatsApp too.
