Most people care about comfort and ease of use more than about privacy. Deal with it and stop complaining about what app others use.
No, that’s not how it works.
If an app is ugly, that I can deal with.
If it is slow, then still, but I may disallow it from running in the background because of my battery. I’ll just check in at the end of the day or something.
Too few features? That sucks, don’t really care, it’s only for this group, they choose it. Same when it’s not comfortable for me or complicated.
But when it is spying on me, that is an absolute dealbraker I’ll not accept.
Wut
Roommates aren’t exactly people you can painlessly choose not to communicate with. This isn’t about other people personally choosing to using an app on their daily life, this is them pushing OP to install spyware on their phone.
