The only people I know who use WhatsApp are Indian. The only reason I have ever used WhatsApp is many of my Indian friends are unreachable by any normal means. And it was that way since before Meta ever bought them. If Modi tried to completely eliminate WhatsApp than people would be upset about it.
WhatsApp is the most commonly used messaging app globally. What would be considered ‘normal’ means here? SMS or iMessage?
Good point. I would consider SMS, MMS, Phone call & email “normal” but it woulda probably been better if I used a different term, maybe “long established protocols?”
