Texting losing out to smartphone apps
The average Irish person sends 5.85 text messages a day.
That's according to the latest report from ComReg, which said Ireland's love affair with texting seems to be on the wane.
2.4 billion text messages were sent between April and June of this year, down from nearly 2.7 billion between January and March.
It is thought that the growing popularity of options like WhatsApp, iMessage and Facebook Chat mean people are now sending fewer texts.
