WTF is WhatsApp for?
For one on one conversations, what’s the benefit of WhatsApp versus just texting? Is this just a millenial thing?

Que? How’s it any better than just calling normally? I guess if cell service is bad but wifi is good?

I use it for work all the time. I have customers all over the world and my cell phone is my work phone which means I'd pay a fortune to call the international customers.
WhatsApp actually has VERY clear sound. |

I have some retired cell phones & was thinking of using that app on one for an alternate line of communications via wifi or tethering .
Google voice is handy for that also . |

This makes sense for international, but what’s the benefit for domestic stuff? Twice this week I’ve had people at work ask for my phone number to connect on whatsapp. I’ve never had a need outside of standard talk and text.
