Really? I've never had spam on Whatsapp. I was just about to mention it as an example of a very successful service that didn't suffer from spam.

  Interesting. It goes to show how varied people’s experience can be. I get zero spam on my seven year old Postfix server as long as I have greylisting enabled (my only anti-spam measure) while I get the occasional spam message on Whatsapp (that I only use for work purposes on my work phone since 2020).

  I don’t use WhatsApp. I don’t have contacts on WhatsApp. I only registered a username to hold it. I only get spam on it.

    WhatsApp doesn't have usernames?

      Heh, you can tell how much I definitely don’t use it. I only recall when someone tried to get me to use mine they showed me a username (nickname?) and a QR code. So I must have registered a number at some point.

  Most WA users I know get it, it's been a point of discussion in several group chats. But not enough you need spam filters, the need for which is the biggest problem with email because of false positives (I scan thru my junk mail folders weekly when I remember and find legitimate messages every time).
