        Also my friends and Family, but this is why I don’t use this shit, I can also communicate with them, better still, with a simple call, perhaps with an SMS (yes, it still exists) or directly in person, accompanied with some beers.

        And in other parts of the world where it’s just a standard. I was surprised when I saw WhatsApp numbers on advertisements with the WhatsApp logo. Hard not to be on WhatsApp in those places.

    WhatsApp seems to be something only foreigners and drug dealers use in my experience. What’s the appeal?

      ‘Foreigners’ to where? The US?

      I don’t use WhatsApp at all, but it irks me when ‘foreigner’ is used on the internet as if ‘we’ are all in a single country.

      You’re a foreigner to me.

        Yes. I am a foreigner to you. I’m saying, people who emigrate here seem to use it. I’m sorry I didn’t type out “people who emigrate here” and used a shorthand term, hopefully someday you can forgive me.

            It’s okay, you’ll get over not having the answer to where a stranger lives on a thread that’s a week old.
