WhatsApp is huge in the EU, we don't really text much here; I'm guessing you are from the US. Meta has full access to that.

- d3VwsX 2y agoDepends on what part of EU you are in. From older HN threads I learned that in some countries people still pay for sending text messages, so I guess that makes it more likely that some app can become popular there.
