It's not hard for me to get others to use it. I simply don't have a Whatsapp account or anything else. If they want to contact me, they will use the right app.

    Thats great, now try that with acquaintances, coworkeea, classmates or companies that only chat through WhatsApp. I wish I could go nuclear but WA is a necessity.

    Your problem is you allow them to do that to you. I simply do not allow it, and it works out fine for me. Have never used WhatsApp a single time.

    It is literally not a necessity. It's a convenience that you are making yourself dependent on.

    I can only agree with you, it is a choice we’re making.

    Still I don’t feel like I want to tell people other than my family or friends to give up on me or switch to threema.

    I’m still thinking about it, but the downsides are bigger than the upsides for now.
