I’ve somehow never used WhatsApp.

No idea. It’s just not a platform anyone in my life has used in a manner that dragged me in.

Two letters. US.

They use SMS still.

Unless everyone they know has iPhones.

Then it’s iMessage.

Surely it can't be so popular it's inconceivable to you that someone hasn't used it.

[–] GadolElohai@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

If you live in most of Europe or definitely Latin America, yeah, it is so popular it's kind of inconceivable not to use it, or at least hard to imagine. I genuinely don't understand how people in the US communicate.

It is. To stay in contact with anyone you need whatsapp.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Well I'm glad that isn't happening here, because I would just have to miss everything.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You must not be from Europe or Brazil then

pls send help
[–] cnqr@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You don’t want their help if they are from the US.

US heavily uses SMS still.

No privacy at all.

That means the government has full access to all your messages.

Whatsapp on the other hand has E2E for everything.

Oh, that recruitment agent sometime ago.

Are you using facebook?

No

Whatsapp?

No

Xing?

No

...

Hey, just send me an E-Mail.

Gigachad.
I on the other hand was actually pleasantly surprised when I got contacted by a recruiter on Matrix , that was the best feeling ever

Same. I hate all these messaging apps people use. Unless you need security, then just use the one your phone already has. Otherwise use signal.
