Why do some women insist on using WhatsApp to communicate?

Those are spam bots that wanna take your money so they try to get you over on WhatsApp they even text you about it on your regular cell phone number, but I don’t know how they get the number unless it’s in the public directory

Signal is better. More secure, more private. No ads. https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/locking-down-signal/ They ask for donations from time to time.

There could be all types of different reasons I know if I meant somebody online that's where they always wanted to go and I had WhatsApp for a long time but after Google came out with the two verification system email and phone number I started thinking about it and on WhatsApp somebody could get your email and your phone number and now they're halfway into your computer if they were computer smart hacker smart and to this day I don't have it anymore but there's two other apps like that too that you can get a phone number and a email address off that app and I don't go to those either

And that's just like Somebody say oh here call me And you call and you talk so now they have their phone number and they might wait a day or something like that and they say well what's your email address I want to send you a picture And now they have your email And hackers are smart nowadays hackers are very smart So I try to pay attention and I don't give away my email address or my phone number not unless I've really know them

I prefer Instagram or IMessages, because in China WhatsApp gets blocked all the time.

It’s definitely a more robust platform for texting than something like iMessage. And, nearly everybody has WhatsApp.


I kinda just wish that women would stop wanting to text men in general. Text is such a hysterically awful means of communicating.

People from other countries outside the US use that, and also foreign scam artists. In many countries cellphone talking minutes and data are not unlimited like they are here, so they use wifi and WhatsApp to talk for free. They are getting scammed by the cell phone companies like it's still the 90's.

It’s one of the most popular messengers on the play store and Apple Store. Outside of the US it’s super common, almost everyone has it in South America, Asia, Europe, everyone uses it as the predetermined messaging app instead of the one that comes in the phone installed, so no it’s not only for scammers, no it’s not easier to transfer money, in fact it doesn’t even let you do that. It’s a great app.

[msc545]

Funny on how every scammer on the planet seems to be using it

[Alex757]

Because its a popular app to use & a lot of scammers use it.

Cause you can whatsapp on wifi and dont have to pay your phone bill

[Ariesman81]

I just assumed it was for the one time view photo/video option.

@Cyfris makes a good point though.

[Sevenpointfive]

it's easy to transfer money

[LC75LC71]

Dunno. I stay away from shit like that.

[On_cloud_wine]

I don’t even know what that is

[Jeff51]

Scammers I bet.
