IM clients on your phone are the main form of communication now. Where I am
from pretty much everyone is on WhatsApp -- it's a very good way to keep in
touch with people. I don't see much of a difference between IM clients such as
WhatsApp and the likes of MSN other than it's based on a smart phone rather
than a traditional computer. I hear a lot of people are on Discord now... I
don't use that so I don't know much about it. Back when I used to play online
games as a teen, we used mIRC to chat with one another. That was a LONG time
ago though.
