I really wish my country didn't rely so much on whatsapp

This is why it annoys me every time someone brings up that SMS/iMessage is a US only problem. Whilst this may be true, for a lot of us WhatsApp is no different. Particularly now that Meta owns WhatsApp.

Whatsapp has been owned by Facebook since 2014. It was created in 2009. That's 5 years without Facebook, 10 with :/
