I was going to proudly boast that I don’t have any Meta apps on my phone. Got rid of FB a long time ago, never jumped on the Instagram train.
Then I your post and now I realize I’m still in the Meta world. Forgot about whatsapp for a second.
- lazide 1y agoThere is a reason they paid so much for it. In a lot of the world, they’re essentially required.

- mrbombastic 1y agoSignal is quite good these days for what it is worth. My whole family switched and hasn’t missed whatsapp. That said I am still stuck on whatsapp, it is basically the only messaging app people use in a lot of the world and used by a ton of businesses.

- reorder9695 1y agoI find a lot of people (including myself) had a pretty bad experience with Signal years ago, and it has put them off using it today.
- tholdem 1y agoMaybe once the ads start showing on Whatsapp it gets easier to convince people to switch.
- trinix912 1y agoThere are ads on Viber and people aren’t convinced to switch to Whatsapp either.
