Is SMS used at all outside the US? No point putting effort into something so outdated
I mean there are 300 million Americans so...
Most of whom are also not using SMS. Most people will just use their default app which would mean RCS for Android and whatever Apple uses for iMessage(?)
New Zealand still uses SMS predominantly.
If this isn't a thing, I would like it to be a thing soon in the future
Closest option is watomatic but it only works with whatsapp and Facebook messenger. There are talks about expanding it to support other platforms
What OS?
Assume Android.
