(I reposted this bc some applications were missing.) I had to install some apps because of school. Btw, can you say improvements that I can make? I can’t install anything that isn’t from playstore. Edit: Duolingo is now just a PWA

    WhatsApp can never secure our messages because it is not libre software, so we do not control it. Both are trash but at least WhatsApp uses the internet instead of directly costing money like SMS.

      Me too feel bad when actually am in a degoogled os and successfully quit every privacy invasive platforms except youtube and whatsapp.

      Also if i only used whatsapp for chatting with 2 or 3 persons without giving it any contact details, still it considered as bad ?

      Also am living in india, and my country have no known privacy protection laws like gdpr.

          No, actually the opposite is happening everytime. The harsh truth is most of my contacts don’t even care am chatting/interacting with them or not. Am easily replacable with hundrends of their other whatsapp users.

          But i have a happy news. I deleted whatsapp successfully. Now whoever wants to chat with me must be on telegram, signal or session messenger. And now on i have to be very careful that in no situation i install whatsapp again.

          In here not only signal, session also using protonmail, tuta instead of gmail considered as weird and everyone will qn us for that.
