discussion is using whatsapp low-class?

[Asscatchem]

trashy ui, association with facebook/zuckerberg, no official ipad app (only sketchy 3rd party ones), being forced to expose your phone number (no username support), ugly app icon

 

with better and free messaging apps out there, is there no excuse for using whatsapp?

not u doing another classist thread. 

 

whatsapp is very popular outside NA/EU

I got doxxed through WhatsApp, so yes. The UI also looks straight from 2013

[Big Bad Wolf]

I don't know about low class...but it's definitely an ugly layout.

[truthteller]

Telegram remains superior

[Katamari]

i swear to lykke Li if yall let this mess get over 200 posts like the last one 

[flower moon]

apple has you by the cóck sis, sucking you dry

[Starshine]

Yes tbh. It's kind of gross how the world continues making Facebook apps the standard when there's literally plenty of other options Signal, Telegram, etc.  

 

My distant family overseas asked me to download that ugly app and I just deleted it after a couple days because I am not having a whole app to talk to 2 people.  It'll be cute when EU forces all messaging apps have RCS and interoperability.
