      Yeah…in my country it’s almost mandatory to have it or you won’t talk to anybody…it’s the only message app most people know… It’s like windows to operating systems…people just use it and ignore that there are different ways to communicate. I tried to use other apps like telegram or signal …nobody wants a second app to send messages…too much trouble
