It can be in area's (such as in The Netherlands) where literally _everyone_ is on WhatsApp and it is the default form of personal online communication.
Not using WhatsApp means not being able to communicate with a lot of people.
- toper-centage 6y agoSame with Portugal and Facebook messenger. I found a solution but it's less than ideal. I have less friends now.
- dkdbejwi383 6y agoSame in the UK. All my friends, family, coworkers. My boss. I've used WhatsApp instead of email to communicate with my landlord, recruiters. Some companies even use it for customer service as an alternative to phone or some terrible chat built into their website.
- aden1ne 6y agoIn the Netherlands it's so pervasive, it isn't only the default form a personal online communication anymore. Rather, it is quickly becoming the default form of online customer interaction as well.
- zajio1am 6y agoDo not they have e-mail? That seems like safe default.
- sevrinsky 6y agoTo most people, email is something that you use for work, or if you're over 50.
- CalChris 6y agoI use both. I realize that Facebook already has my social graph and the epsilon more information they get from my family chats pencils out to epsilon. I use Signal when I don't want Facebook to know and monetize that knowledge.
