Discord I agree, but it should be easy to install and use Whatsapp. There are probably already millions of grandmas using it since Whatsapp is the dominant messaging app outside the US (even by iOS users).
BTW Whatsapp also has audio and video calls.
- ubermonkey 5y agoI feel like arguing that Facebook is somehow a better plan than iMessage is a little weird.
- theonlybutlet 5y agoWhatsapp isn't really Facebook and it is ubiquitious. I live in Europe and have lived in Africa, I only know of one person that doesn't have it and they're tinfoil hat level paranoid (following a privacy scare earlier this year).
- ubermonkey 5y agoWhatsapp really is Facebook. Facebook owns them, lock stock and barrel, so I'm not sure what you think the distinction is. I understand it's ubiquitous, but I don't personally use it, and can't imagine joining it. Nobody I know uses it, but I will absolutely allow as how that probably has to do with demographics -- my network of friends, family, and coworkers is overwhelmingly on iOS.
- pier25 5y agoI wasn't arguing which is better, just that it would be easy to switch to. Also, what should 90% of the world population that can't afford an iPhone do?
- ubermonkey 5y agoFind something that Facebook doesn't own? I mean, there ARE other options, right?
- pier25 5y agoThat are as easy and ubiquitous so that a grandmother can easily install and use?
- ubermonkey 5y ago...here we are back at iMessage. Weird!
