It is the one message-space on your phone that you always pay attention to: SMS text messages. And SMS text messages are at the top. Yes, there is something truly special about SMS… it’s: Universal.

Most important, yet the most subtle, SMS implies a personal interaction. It’s 2019 and we’re going back to the future with SMS.

To be clear, the desire to send and receive short messages isn't going away--but the need to send them via the SMS protocol may become extinct. As smart phones grew in popularity, developers built mobile apps using Twitter's API, moving the majority of tweets off of SMS and into the data stream.
