I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do you find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?
Our family group used to have a Signal chat until the older people in the family started having issues remembering their pins.
They were using MMS before, but the depth of privacy needed for them was mostly dinner plans, so when the Signal chat dried up, I didn’t really care or push back on it. Whatever. I just told them that they’d get zero depth out of me beyond surface level information unless it was on Signal, but in the end our conversations never went deep enough to matter unless someone couldn’t log into Jellyfin, and by that point, they’d ask in person.
Though I’m not the sentimental type and generally just make new friends. I’ve moved to a different state, so it’s not like get-togethers are happening.

I have a phone. They have a phone. I have their number. They have my number…
If they don’t have my number there’s a reason.

My social circle for texting is really small, but in the good old days of social media I kept in touch with a wider circle.

Sort of? Text and email mostly work.
