Easy to use, reliable, because you could write something without data and the message would be send as soon as you get you internet back, something new at the time, because other apps would tell you no data and that’s it, the low data usage, easy to send images, and many other things that put the app as the best and in many applications the only alternative in the market. Whatsapp when it came here, was already popular, cross platform and was subsidized by the cell phone companies because of their already popularity abroad, so it was easy to make the push of it becoming a must in text communication, and if you take into account that here, sms where blasted with bank notifications and advertisements it was easy to see that WhatsApp would become the leading messaging app and sms would be filled with the other un important stuff.Īnd finally, the app, at the time it came out it was in another level. As data plans here where expensive in the beginning a free messaging app was something completely new and a game changer for many people and business.Īs BlackBerry started to lose dominance in the cellphone market, something that was extremely delayed in the developing market in comparison to the rest of the world, free messaging solutions became a must for people to buy another brand of cellphones. ![]() In Colombia, the popularity of Black Berry was given because of their messaging app, that was free of use as long as you had internet. I will give an example as a Colombian, but we could extrapolate it to many other developing countries and then explain first world ones. I honestly don't miss the people who I can't have contact with because they are ONLY on whatsapp and facebook and don't read emails.Įven tho there is the “Network effect”, in many countries WhatsApp and sms messages had completely different cost. Back in 2015 I deleted facebook and Whatsapp and wanted to see how I will survive when everyone around me is still hooked to both platforms. If someone is reasonable and you explain them whats going on, they will usually do the switch and be happy. PS: I have moved/convinced more than 200 people, that I know in person, to use telegram/signal/threema over the last 5 years. Friends usually care about each other and listen. and also that it is just in a poor development state, and then I would also show my friends alternatives that are just better due to having more features and better security and my friends would then still refrain from switching or at least using another messenger side-by-side, I would rethink if they are friends or just some people who don't give a fuck about me and my thoughts. If I tell my friends that Whatsapp is absolutely bad and should not be installed on any smartphones due to security flaws, shady user conditions etc. What I am wondering is, what kind of friends do you have that don't listen to your concerns and ideas? I'm guessing your comment is meant in a sarcastic way. And please those of you who deign to grace us with your vim wisdom - be kind.
