      Yea, but if your kids participates in hobbies that share the info only via whatsapp, you can be the ignorant parent or the difficult parent or just go along…

          It’s not just weird hobbies here, but basically all that are somehow organized.
          Also a lot of relevant school information is only shared within parent groups on WhatsApp.
          My complete WhatsApp-boycott lasted exactly until the first of my childs entered school… :-(

        Love how some people pretend to be special or unique here. And most likely just for fake karma points.

          If you’ve traveled extensively you’d know that entire countries depend on WhatsApp for communication. It’s free to use for many people as part of promotions with their cellular providers. Even government offices will use WhatsApp instead of sms. It’s going to be incredibly difficult to get them to switch. So you saying “whoever uses this piece of shit software doesn’t care about privacy or anything else” shows your ignorance. Some people don’t really have a choice due to their situation.
