    It’s not useless in western countries. We don’t all have our entire country communicating via Metas WhatsApp lol

      Do you maybe mean USA when you say “western country”? Living in Europe, I don’t know a single person who uses SMS for communication.

        Exactly.

        I also prefer not to have one of the most garbage companies apps on my phone (WhatsApp). The messages may be encrypted, but the location data and storage permissions you’re giving it aren’t.
