I am in europe, switzerland and plenty of friends in austria. Yes many of my social circle have whatsapp but none is using it exclusively as it was some years ago.

People have the choice and use it. Not sure what is holding other circles back?

I havent had whatsapp in 4+ years and only rarely have to fall back to SMS




What is the alternative are your social circles using? SMS is the only alternative with a wide install base and the experience is inferior to WA,Telegram etc.


Telegram, Signal, Discord, some via Email depends on the people. Everyone has a second or third messaging app


Do you have kids? What do they use?


I dont. Guess they would communicate by dancing on tiktok judging from my knowlege about teens these days :)


Steganography or the dancing pigs problem? :-)
