- tambourine_man 3y agoI get that, but it wears out.
- oblio 3y agoUntil you want to chat with grandma or that girl you really like.
- Koshkin 3y agoYou could use the damn phone as such and call. They even might appreciate it more. (Unless you have to be “chatting” continuously, of course.) And no, nobody really wants to see your face, believe me.
- dopidopHN 3y agoI don’t think those people use the video function of whatapps really often. In many places the default app to text is whatapps. But fair; if in the same country you can call. ( and if not, you can go thought a service allowing you to call abroad. Like the now senile Skype )
- OrangeMusic 3y agoAre there really phones that exist that don't have the SMS app?
- oblio 3y ago> And no, nobody really wants to see your face, believe me. This is such a sad perspective.
- throwaway290 3y agoThat girl will have IG. And from there if she likes you you can take it to any other platform
- oblio 3y agoSo your argument against Meta app WhatsApp is "nah, she'll have Meta app Instagram, so we're cool"? :-)))
- throwaway290 3y agoIG is not a messaging app though. So exchange IG then move to whatever messaging app you like and start convincing her to get off that hated Meta
- kalleboo 3y agoHow much of that joy comes from telling people on a message board run by a venture capitalism firm about how virtuous you are?
- flagrant_taco 3y agoI was am expat in a country that used WhatsApp everywhere. Not using it myself was a huge pain on quite a few occasions, I was nearly forced into making a WhatsApp account when I had to take a Covid test before travel.
