- s1mon 3y agoNot in my experience. I’ve used WhatsApp while in China on one business trip because other things were blocked/less reliable, but so many people I know or interact with don’t even know what WhatsApp is. Voice call, text, email, Facebook messenger, Slack, Teams, LinkedIn, sure, but not WhatsApp. I can’t trade WhatsApp messages with most of my friends, family, bank, mechanic, doctor, or hairdresser. The more traditional of those are going to call or email, the younger ones will text or facebook messenger, and work stuff is currently mostly Slack.
- sumtechguy 3y agomy parents would probably say something along the lines of 'what is whatsapp'. My sister would say 'i dont use that' my wife would say 'yet another freeking app?!' my tech friends would say 'no i am not signing up for yet another account'
- stetrain 3y agoOn iOS at least you can block calls from outside your contact list. Which is what I do. Anyone outside my contact list can leave a voicemail.
- habosa 3y agoNot sure where you are in the world but in the US having a phone number and receiving voice calls is pretty much required to participate in society. And using WhatsApp or other similar solutions is not very common.
