My main goal on year 2018 was delete facebook. Unfortunately im still using whatsapp just because everyone uses it and i have no other place to talk with my friends and family.
I think (do correct if wrong!) the EU has approved an interoperability law for big tech companies? So it should be just a matter of time until you can switch messaging app and still be able to communicate with people on wa and big messaging apps
Ofc if your friends all use whatsapp zuck will still be able to read all your messages and get your phone number via your contacts… so it’s only a partial solution. Still better than nothing tho.
You say that as if WhatsApp is actually secure, as if Facebook haven’t filled it with backdoors. As if it wasn’t the vector for zero click access to Android phones in Pegasus. SMS could not do that (although iMessages did).
Not popular enough. With Whatsapp you get to talk to pretty much everyone, from businesses to second hand sellers to your weird aunt that lives in the middle of the woods.
None of those app is popular enough anyway. You still need sms + Whatsapp + a couple of others. So adding another one is not so much of a burden. Besides, it works just like Whatsapp from a user standpoint, and no password required.

That link you added is being very very negative about it and even after reading it I really don’t understand why…
SMS is still a thing. You need to put your foot down to make it happen.
Nobody uses SMS in my country.
It still works though doesn’t it?
Not really, sms is barely noticed here, you must use WhatsApp messaging otherwise they will wait a Whatsapp call or a phone call
SMS is unencrypted

Signal, bro.

No one is important enough to justify using WhatsApp
Not everyone can live as a hermit to fulfil their Zucc-hate boner. Some of us have lives.
Then install signal and tell them you’re on there. Clearly you’re important enough for people to use signal, since you have a life
Riiight, because the corner shop will start using signal just for you…
Don’t be delusional.
