I’m from the US as well, and I can verify that very few average people use those types of messengers primarily. It is almost exclusively iMessage and SMS/MMS/RCS texts as the main form of messaging. I will admit that quite a few people will use the messaging features that are built into social media apps (like messaging in Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, etc). At least to me, it seems like those are moreso used for sending memes or messaging people you don’t interact with regularly and are still secondary to the other forms of messaging.
For a physical book, I’m reading “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez. I’m not too far in yet, but I’m enjoying it so far. I am having some issues keeping track of names, which usually isn’t a problem for me, and I’m not sure why.
For my drive to work, I’m listening to “Words of Radiance” by Brandon Sanderson. I’m not sure if I’m really enjoying it or not, but I’m giving it a chance. For the first book, I thought it was just okay until about the last third of the book, so we’ll see how this one turns out.
