I don't know what an "everything app" is, but that's not my experience with WhatsApp in Europe. It's just how you text or call everyone or businesses, but there's no payments or anything else going on beyond perhaps the occasional business chatbot. But even then, most 'businesses' I interact with over WhatsApp is just some person with a phone.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoI think Elon's target was WeChat, and the article implied that WhatsApp had essentially the same functionality as WeChat, but that may not actually be the case, or maybe only in some countries like Brazil.
