Not sure where you are in Europe but here lots of people use iMessage. If you have an iPhone and want to text another iPhone, it’s usually iMessage.

If they don’t have an iPhone then people fall back to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or hell even Discord…

But you wouldn't text another iPhone. You'd WhatsApp the person.

Not enough people use iMessage for it to be covered by this law. It's not large enough of a messenger.
