If I can enhance understanding on any level, FYI FWIW I will sign up for this likely. 1. Yes - In this context I prefer convenience over impractical/unrealized encryption. (Not privacy - I find Whatsapp, which hinges on my personal private phone number, far less "private", than other traditional messenger apps which I can sign up for anonymously; and for my use cases it's not a realized encryption, as people I talk to have no concept of security and I should assume anything I send to them has been scrubbed by malware and any other apps they've intentionally installed and agreed to). 2. Dozen apps are annoying impractical and I darn tooting well do Not have their notifications enabled. I'll agree that Android sharing is awesome; my experience with iPhone sharing has been Far more limited. 3. Whatsapp is darn near impossible to effectively use multi-device. If this will let me chat to my in-laws (who are stuck on Whatsapp not for any privacy or encryption reasons but because "everybody uses it") from comfort of my computers and keyboards, reliably, then this is a shut up & take my money proposition. 3a. Anybody about to comment "But whatsapp works on computers", see my other replies:)
