Whatsapp doesn’t use the SMS protocol though so if you send a WhatsApp message it doesn’t appear as a text message it appears in the WhatsApp app, you have to have the app installed so it is a significant distinction to make.
When I’m dealing with clients I’m mostly told to send them a WhatsApp message but occasionally they will tell me to send a text message and that means that they don’t have WhatsApp and I actually have to use the SMS system. They just say WhatsApp or text and know that I’ll be able to work it out.

Yes but for us reading the story it’s irrelevant if he received a WhatsApp, signal or SMS message
I know how it works. Texting sometimes means SMS specifically, but other times it might mean messaging over any non-SMS app/protocol.
And that message is received in a text form, hell, use “messaged me” if you prefer, I don’t care
