I only use it because there’s no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.
There’s no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn’t communicate with the people I need to through it.
Messaging apps curse is exactly that… No matter how good they are, if nobody is using it… In WhatsApp I have +100 of my contacts, in Telegram, 20. In Signal, less than 10, so…
I wish people would stop using the Crowder meme template.
Why?
Because he’s an asshole. A grifting asshole to be specific.
Oh i get it now. The person in the photo is an asshole in real life. It only took me a day of wondering why would someone be an asshole for not liking a meme template 😅
How come?
He’s a right wing piece of shit who constantly says and does the most unhinged shit. Don’t really follow him, but from the top of my head, he mocked George Floyd’s death, he mocks trans people on a regular basis…
SMS is IE, Whatsapp is Chrome, and Signal is Firefox. Use Signal/Firefox.
What is Beeper/Matrix? Although I’m from the golden age of Trillian/MirandaIM 😆
Steven Crowder is a garbage human and doesn’t deserve a meme template
Nah. SMS and iMessage are the IE of messaging. Unsafe and locked in.
Except it does nearly everything any other messaging app does, so there really is no need to force a switch. Unlike Internet Explorer, that used outdated rendering engine making it both slow and buggy, it was unsafe as it used ActiveX, didn’t support ad-blockers it actually broke or didn’t open most new website.
Op thinks only the USA exists apparently
I’m from india
Told
I stole this meme from a comment🫣
I never have any problems Whatsapp. My messages get sent and I receive messages no problem.
Yeah the real problem is giving Facebook any control at all over your messaging experience.
Whatsapp is still supported
Matrix or Signal only for me. nobody uses Whatsapp here in the states, sms is simply insecure in every way, and telegram has very suspicious roots imo, along with a lack of e2ee and a terrible ui.
signal is the most secure option and matrix is federated making it the most “open” option.
“Nobody uses Whatsapp here in the states”
Man I wish I had your friends. The only non-iMessage app I can get everyone to use is WhatsApp. And I don’t have an iPhone.
I mean, I’m not in any better of a camp. all of my friends refuse to get off discord.
It has become better, though.
- Multi-device (without your primary device needing an internet connection)
- Deleting messages
- Editing messages
- Reactions
- Larger file uploads…
Technically, unironically, its latest desktop version for Windows is better than expected. It’s no longer based on Electron or whatever, consumes less resources than before and works adequately.
That said, I still don’t like it.
Aim wants a word.
Best messaging app is the one that has most users and is free to use. Sadly the truth is so simple, that’s why everyone in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America use WhatsApp.
Asia
Not in East Asia. Japan is all about LINE, South Korea uses KakaoTalk, and China uses WeChat.
in our country we use viber and I don’t know which one is worse
My family in the U.S uses Viber. We switched when hangouts was originally going to be axed. Tried to get everyone on Signal but was told it wasn’t as friendly for the elderly family.
