    Nearly everyone I know from India uses WhatsApp so this statement checks out. I wish my own friends and family would stop using iMessage/SMS and use something like Signal. The only other app they use is Snapchat and I kinda hate that one.

      I uninstalled WhatsApp recently, but then, I was forced to use it again because I needed parts for my dying, old laptop, and the local spare parts vendors from India don’t use email or call via phone, which is infuriating.

          Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of choice here, because the laptop is pretty old, and the spares aren’t that common. The only other option would be to import from China, but that would burn a hole in my pocket.
