In my case whatsapp web has made a dent in email usage. Just as convenient to type, but instant feedback and easier rich media use i.e. send and receive pictures and videos. I'm not proud of myself for that, being an old school "open data formats" person. My email still goes through Thunderbird, which faithfully downloads and archives even stuff composed in Gmail. Whereas Whatsapp data is siloed and (to my knowledge) not easily exported from the app to an archivable format. As for email. Generally used with older folks like my mom, or for stuff with half a dozen recipients like family vacation planning. Luckily pretty much everyone I know of any age is still reachable by email, even if they don't write much of it.
