I live in the UK and this is absolutely 100% not true, you cannot function in society here without WhatsApp. In Australia the same is true for Facebook. In every country there's something, and almost all of them outside China are owned by Facebook.
- agd 6y agoI find this incredible to hear. I know many people who live very sociable lives who don’t have WhatsApp or Facebook. And these are not techno privacy geeks but regular people across different age groups. I have to strongly disagree based on personal evidence that ‘you cannot function socially in society without WhatsApp’.
- WorkLobster 6y ago"Cannot function in society" is something of an exaggeration. I have never used WhatsApp and never really suffered for it. The only issue I noticed is needing to check in with individual members of the board game group and rock climbing group every now and then to see if there are plans.
- jfk13 6y agoI also live in the UK, but I have never used WhatsApp. People's requirements and experiences differ greatly. WhatsApp may be essential to you, but it's not essential to everyone.
