In favour of whatsapp:

  • You've already got it installed

Against whatsapp:

  • It's one of those tech platforms owned by and run for the benefit of evil billionaires
  • The source code isn't available, so nobody really knows if it's secure at all
  • The metadata probably all just quietly flows into the Facebook data maelstrom
  • It never worked properly on my android phone that doesn't have Google services
  • It differs from Signal only in ways that make it worse

    I'll be curious.

    It never worked properly on my android phone that doesn't have Google services

    Just properly or actually not at all? Currently, my android has Google services, but my WhatsApp isn't linked to any Google Account. It runs as expected. I wonder what your experience was, as I'd like to own a google free phone sometime but I don't think I'll be able to remove WhatsApp from my life unfortunately.
