I wish WhatsApp wasn't the main form of communication in my area of the world.

That's the only one I'm on and it's because I could not convince anyone around me to just use texts or download signal

    Yes you should break yourself from all of the US and Israeli tech stack. They cannot be trusted.

    It's hard to get away from the hardware companies through. I'm all AMD because they're a little less evil, but they're in the same AI bubble and also currently doing little in terms of innovation since they already have the performance advantage

    Neither do I, I only use it for sending and recieving messages. I don't think anyone uses the AI bullshit that was added to it.

    It was so much better when the search bar was just for contacts or chat messages instead of all the genuinely useless terms

    The dumb thing is that Meta owns Instagram and WhatsApp, so if every one of their apps have these features what's the point of downloading more than one of them?

    EDIT: I misread telegram as Instagram lmao, but either way there's no point in using any of them

    Because they were originally successful companies that weren't owned by meta, and meta couldn't have that so they bought them.

    Why this doesn't violate anti-trust laws is anybody's guess...

    Somebody needs to jailbreak WhatsApp interoperability. Especially now that their 'encryption' has been demonstrated to be a farce.
