WhatsApp is ubiquitous in Ireland, if only it was as easy to get away from it. Everything from clubs, schools, kids sport is done via group chats on WhatsApp. Absolutely hate Meta as a company, WhatsApp is the only app I use of theirs and only because they bought it from under us. If we could get proper interoperability, we could use a non WhatsApp app, but it’s not looking good so far.

Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it’s called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it

Thank fuck I deleted my Facebook when I did (around the time of the Cambrige Analytica scandal). Never had an Instagram.

For anyone reading, delete them all. Load of shite, you won’t miss them.

This type of stuff will get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
