It’s not uncommon to see smartphone users with their heads down, rapidly typing away during an intense messaging conversation, and SMS is losing its share of the action thanks to the rise of over-the-top (OTT) mobile messaging services such as WeChat.

Meanwhile, global text message volume was expected to fall from 9.0 trillion to 6.7 trillion.
