I wish. It's completely replaced text messaging in a lot of countries, it's not going away anytime soon

I doubt the people who already commented will read that, but if you live in another country than the people you contact, you have to pay extra for calls and SMS. That's the sole reason I use Whatsapp. I cannot afford not to. The only people I've ever met who don't use it are some Asians who use some Kakao app instead.

I agree 100% with you. Whatscrapp is just a proprietary user subjugating version of XMPP. I prefer to communicate using xmpp protocol because it's federated like fediverse. You can use conversation for android
