I'm not opposed to third-party apps.
I am opposed to fragmenting my messaging, and having to remember which app to use for each person/group I want to communicate with.
I'm not going to download WhatsApp just for that one person or one group that wants to communicate through it. No thanks.
(If my entire country has chosen WhatsApp instead of SMS+iMessage, then sure no problem.)
- lxgr 2y agoBut you realize that from their perspective, you are doing the exact same thing (i.e. asking them to use something other than their preferred messenger to contact you), right?
- crazygringo 2y agoNo, see my last sentence. I don't have any preferred app. I just only want to use one. I'll happily use whichever one the people in my country have collectively decided upon.
- lxgr 2y agoSounds like a plan (as long as you don't have any international contacts).
- crazygringo 2y agoYeah... I migrated phones at one point, didn't realize I had to re-sign in to WhatsApp even though it was installed, and wound up missing over a year's worth of messages and meet-up opportunities from friends I'd made abroad. :( It's a real pain point...
