[Misc] Do you use WhatsApp?

[Bozza]

One of NSC's advertising partners just sent an email to a group of site owners asking for our details to be added to their WhatsApp group.

What I thought was interesting was what seemed to be an assumption that everyone uses WhatsApp.

I have it on my phone but I think I've only used it 4 or 5 times, and only when someone has sent me a message there (and I've no idea why they chose that medium to do so).

So, do you use WhatsApp? How ubiquitous is it?

is it Miximate?

 

[spence]

My most used app. Couldn't be without it

I use it a lot, but mainly to send photos and videos

Use it more than anything else. Free telephone/video calls from Spain to UK to stay in touch with family. Mrs BS talks to her brother in Australia without thinking of cost. Easy to send photos....whats not to like?

All the time but exclusively for messaging, almost nobody uses SMS/Skype or other alternatives to reach me anymore.

Uses data instead of network, very useful and I wouldn't blame them for assuming that everyone/most people use it as that is consistent with my experiences.

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

Everyone I need contact with has an iPhone so FaceTime is used. Maybe that's why I don't use it.

Its brilliant for adding multiple people and sending media. Not so good when you read a message from the mrs and ignore it because of the blue ticks.

I use whatsapp as a texting substitute. The advantages are you can send photos for free which i do to certain people quite a lot if i need to show them something. The other advantage is you get notifications when the message has been received and then opened.

I use it because It stops the CIA from stealing my thoughts.

And also for sending dik pics.

 

[Buzzer]

I use it all the time but only for group messaging. On my Android phone, group messages get sent as picture messages so would cost me a fortune if I used the norrmal messaging service.

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

I only use it with people who don't have iMessage.

 

[LlcoolJ]

All the time. It's a great app. Even my Mum uses it instead of SMS now.

 

[The_Viper]

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

This, I don't use any other messenger especially given I am out the country. A brilliant app.

 

[Badger]

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.

 

[happypig]

got it, almost never use it. Just send texts or ring people.

 

[darkwolf666]

Didn't realise how much I used it until I noticed my text usage for the month on my contract was almost zero!

As said, free photos, free messages and calls - what's not to like.

Just switch the phone to 'flight mode' before reading message - it does not then show it's been read. Don't tell the misses I told you!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Lots of group usage. Use it to organise my son's football team's training & fixtures, monthly poker night, Albion tickets & work whereabouts to name but 4
