[Misc] Do you use WhatsApp?

[Steve in Japan]

Yes, I use it a lot to keep in touch with my family.

Same, I'd go so far as saying it's the main reason some of us are still in touch!

 

[sydney]

yes ....yes i do .....i also use messenger for video calls , it's free you know

 

[OzMike]

What's an app ( of a certain age ).

 

[Gritt23]

Yes, it's brilliant. The only frustration is when someone you want in a Group doesn't have it. I have family groups to plan for Christmas, holidays, care, visits, various friend groups to stay in touch and arrange meet-ups. We even have a directors group at work to all stay in touch on various matters.

Brilliant, BRILLIANT app.

 

[Normal Rob]

I don't even know what it is.

End-to-end encryption so avoids the spying state, free and easy to use, uses wifi when it can, can make calls to friends who have it anywhere in the world for free, faster than text, pictures for free, groups for parties, nights out, teams, community groups, can see when someone is there (or not if you prefer to go anonymous yourself), not yet restricted or beset by ads by its global corporate owner. All great.
One downside is that some people in one of my community groups overshare minutiae which can be annoying.

I use it more than any other messaging service. Obviously it's particularly useful for keeping in touch with UK friends and family. I use FB Messenger too, but I've gone off it since they started adding pointless extra features which I will never use, and can't be hidden.
[MENTION=522]Kinky Gerbils[/MENTION] does keep sending me pictures of a black guy with a massive cock on WhatsApp. I now know what he spends his time doing on the internet.

And you thank me every time

.

But how many of you know about Whatsapp Web...? If you don't, kiss goodbye to your working day...

Also all the stuff you can do to make text bold etc. I've had to show a few people this.

Yeah, or you have to leave the group chat as massive cocks appear on your screen

 

[Bozza]

Thanks to both [MENTION=314]Arthur[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5200]Buzzer[/MENTION] who attempted to bring me into 2017 by WhatsApp-ing me...

...on Wednesday...

...which I've only just seen.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Is there an Albion WhatsApp group?

 

[jackanada]

Great app.
I recommend turning off auto download of videos though.
This both saves your data, and if like me you have a friend who allegedly works in sales but apparently spends the entire day trawling the web for ever more disturbing pornographic video, your sanity.
