    I’ve tried to get away from WhatsApp. I’ve got the majority of my friends off it (at least when they communicated with me). But some people just will not leave due to familiarity/fear of change. I’m still working on them, but I’m pretty sure it’s a lost cause.

    You can only go so far. And cutting people off because they won’t move away from something like WhatsApp isn’t always feasible.

    But I agree with you: I don’t understand why people still use those platforms. I think it’s because they don’t keep up on things, or just don’t care.

      I hate whatsapp with a passion and only ever used it because everyone does. After a while i realised how dumb it is to do something because of other people and uninstalled it. I works pretty good, it’s just for work i sometimes have to install it for one person who need to send something.

      It’s honestly terrifying how much of a grip whatsapp has. People like to make fun of the US for being stuck on sms and imessage, but at least we’re not beholden to Zucc for our main communication
