WhatsApp? The instant messenger boomers use on their phones?
Damn, who saw that coming.
american, right? It’s very popular in other places.
Spotted the iMessage user who routinly cries about dot colour
Weird that this is your association as using it would require an iPhone which most youth don’t have. My thought was Telegram, which is omnipresent at least around me, with Whatsapp often being kept just for the parents or older relatives.
“an iPhone which most youth dont have”
i see you dont live in north america
telegram is for pedos and this one guy i know uses it and i question his motives
No, it’s used by just about everyone. Generally the younger the person and the bigger their city, the more likely they are to gravitate towards Telegram rather than Whatsapp.
I know alot of people in my city and its one of the biggest in north america and they have never heard of it.
telegram is one of the worst, privacy wise.
I know, and it’s terrible that it’s so unavoidable. I managed to avoid Whatsapp, but without Telegram managing university life would be incredibly hard.
Most countries stopped using SMS ages ago. WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram are ubiquitous.
I WISH signal was ubiquitous. Half of my friends are still using Facebook Messenger so I still have to resort to using SMS for them
SMS for everybody not on a self-hostable encrypted messenger. Why fool oneself into thinking a US managed messenger is private?
Belgian?
Is Belgium known for using Messenger?
I thought so, but that might be 10 years ago and in Flanders, so… 🤷♂️
Yeah, the other instant messenger owned by Facebook
In most of Europe WhatsApp is synonymous with text messaging.
Also in South Asia and the Middle East.
