I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

If i ever get a job and have to use whatsapp, im using to use all those stupid stickers in every message i send

Pretty much the entire world, except the US and Canada, is WhatsApp based. Every job chat, every message you send, it's all WhatsApp. Heck to pay for parking or to get immigration visa services from the government, it's mostly WhatsApp. And yes you can send stickers.

Sometimes Lemmy loses perspective that the way 300ish million people do something is not that relevant to the other 7500 million.

I don’t know what pretty much „the entire world” you’re talking about but Im pretty sure whatsapp has no official uses in this little known continent called Europe.

bruh what? Italy a lot of towns have a telegram and a whatsapp channel. Everyone uses whatsapp here and it's similar in Ukraine, Ireland, and several other places.

But for official „visa” and similar uses?

Misread the post title, thought everybody jumped and left you all alone.

At first from the title it seemed like they changed app to avoid you

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

That's exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

yeah, that was funny. Creating a group without OP wasn't enough, they had to change apps lol
