I seem to remember that the former owner of Whatsapp recommended people NOT use it after he sold it to Zuck.

He financed Signal app after walking away from meta and an addition 3/4 of a billion or something like that. He publicly stated that they’re evil. When financing Signal App his one stipulation was don’t do that

I used it to talk to a girl I met in Europe that lived in Croatia. When we stopped talking, I stopped using it.

I had more friends and family urging me to get on Facebook messenger more than anything else, until iMessage really took off then it reverted to sms on my end.
