What stops you from changing the service and suggesting same thing to your friends and family? There are alternatives around
But this is not about alternatives to WhatsApp, imo it's weird that this even happens/is possible.
Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can read your messages or hear your calls with your friends, family, and co-workers on WhatsApp. Whatever you share, it stays between you. That’s because your personal messages are protected by end-to-end encryption. We will never weaken this security and we clearly label each chat so you know our commitment.It’s not. This will happen with any chat app that is locked to a single service. Stop using those.
