Yeah, same. I could live with a dumb phone as long as I can use WhatsApp and Telegram. In my country you just can't live without WhatsApp. I was expecting KaiOS to get good but it's not happening.

I also had hopes for KaiOS. However, devices with this system cost the same as smartphones with a touch screen, but had fewer functions. In addition, this system had a number of other problems.
