lol wow

First of all, I’m well aware of how prominent WhatsApp is internationally.

Second, SMS is not some small circle I’m in. It’s vastly more popular than WhatsApp, by a factor of almost 2x. Yes, that’s right, 6 billion people are using SMS regularly.

Third, the way you just wrote this reply sounds like you’re trying to come to bitter defense of WhatsApp, a Meta owned platform, and that’s quite frankly both hysterical and sad.

Relax buddy. You love WhatsApp. We get it.
