Thank god none of my friends or relatives ever were really Snapchat users. But I’m held hostage by WhatsApp in here.
WhatsApp is fine IMO. It’s really just an instant messanger that does about as much as any other. In terms of privacy, WhatsApp is far from bad compared with other apps. The fact that Meta own WhatsApp doesn’t really impact that too much.
I mean yes but, you don’t have to use it.
My close friend groups almost exclusively uses it for communication, as much as I’d love to ditch the app, I’d then miss out on vital communication, I’ve tried to onboard them to Signal or Session but they won’t budge, so I have to make do.
Using Snapchat to actually chat sounds so frustrating.
Hopefully a viable alternative will finally pop-up soon.
Signal is extremely viable got chats, voice/video calls and stories, almost 1:1 with Snapchat, only problem is no one wants to move, because theyre too comfortable with what they use, there’d need to be a mass walkaway like Reddit just had to get most people to budge.
Wow, imagine having to pay for dark mode.
They also stuck this dumb “My AI” bot at the top of everyone’s chat list. You have to pay to remove it.
I’m in the same boat. It freezes and crashes all the time on my phone. Been using it for so many years now and it’s never really improved. Wish I could move all my group chats somewhere else, but there’s no chance
