  1. You can curse on the Internet. Don’t self censor.
  2. The world used WhatsApp before Facebook bought it and network effects hold people there.
  3. Most people around here had mobile plans with limited sms usage and were less likely to be iPhone users, so a chat across operating systems was a necessity. That meant WhatsApp was way cheaper and could do images and videos.
