It's not a particularly privacy-focused app, but there are much worse options. In some countries, Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger are extremely popular. Teenagers in many places primarily use Snapchat. At least the message content on WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted. I'm pretty happy everyone I know uses it. I'd rather have everyone using Signal, but it's definitely better than many other chat apps.
