I'm sorry to say that about everybody in Spain uses WhatsApp, even

Please ignore Joerg. He feels compelled to ROTFWL on every thread.
He has nothing to add. He's a worthless despicable human being.

Now... as for your point - I agree with you since I agree with anyone who
makes a sensible logical statement.

Even I use WhatsApp. And I care about privacy.
So I'm happy you (and Richmond) brought this up.

I don't understand the implications, but I can tell others that I use
WhatsApp for two sensible reasons, one of which is that it's what all my
relatives use on their mobile phones in Germany. So it's what works since
calling them would cost me an arm and a leg with international prices.

The other reason is the parents of both my great grandchildren use Apple
devices, so everything is blurry without using something like WhatsApp.

Sure, another messenger would work, but so does WhatsApp.
Caveat in the sig.
