I don't want Meta AI in WhatsApp, even if it doesn't snoop on my texts - eviltoast

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

      You know, when you’re one of those foreigners whose peers all exclusively use WhatsApp, be it child or grandparent, that’s a pretty big appeal. To me, you’re the weird foreigner who doesn’t use WhatsApp ;)

        Fair enough, I’m just saying locally no one uses it except really sketchy people who get weird looks when they ask if anyone has it. It’s pretty much either Facebook Messenger or Snapchat around these parts.

      ‘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.
