This is something I didn't realize until I traveled outside the US. In some places, WhatsApp is the default.
I've always been very anti-Meta, and refused to get on WhatsApp until I ran into that situation.

What's app was cool as shit, until, just like Michael Bolton, something shitty in the world happened. I installed it for an upcoming trip with loathing just because I know I may stay in places and not be able to connect with a hotel or host if I don't use whatsapp. The EU better get their shit together since they were trying to lead on digital privacy...
