Apple Suggest They Will Withdraw iMessage and FaceTime In UK If Law Changes Go Ahead - Lemmy.world

Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.

Do apple users in Europe actually use iMessage? I thought most users in the EU used Whatsapp or Signal
All the Apple users I know routinely use iMessage and WhatsApp.
Telegram or Facebook messenger/Instagram chat is what I see people use in Sweden
They use it as a secondary service, everyone is on WhatsApp.
