I paid for Whatsapp many years ago. I wonder if they can just do that retroactively.

The app market was different back then. No real alternatives, not meta owned, I think I paid 1€. Nowadays I wouldn’t pay for any app other than a good Lemmy reader, I also use my phone for not much else anymore.

As a reminder, Signal is still awesome, is run by cool people who have been doing good stuff for your privacy for many many years, runs on your phone and your laptop and your dad’s PC and your buddy’s phone of that other brand …

Main issue for me is that no one, I know uses any other app than WhatsApp.

I use telegram for piracy but wish people would move over to Telegram or Signal. Majority seems to be stubborn on WhatsApp because of easiness and laziness.

Telegram is less private then whatsapp, unless you use the private chats it’s not even encrypted.
