That’s why the contacts app exists…

or just fucking give them my contacts since pretty much everyone in my country has done it anyways, so they don’t gain shit

yet ur ok with giving them ur contacts, bht with wa ur not

BRO SMS AIN’T BETTER THAN WHATSAPP IT HAS NO ENCRYPTION, PURE FANBOYISM

They just don’t want another chat app on their phone, they just use wa for almost everything

they just said no, I respect that

EVERYONE IN MY COUNTRY USES WHATSAPP, YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT WA HERE YK…

I do, but I have like 50 PPL ON WHATSAPP, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM

yup sadly it ain’t

I just want to have their names instead of phone numbers…

because they don’t care about privacy and I also need business associates on there…

how am I their friend if I’m forcing them to care about something they don’t care about.

also they “want to give meta their data so that the algorithm keeps them on the app as long as possible”, since they got nothing to do. also these friends are more like colleagues than anything else, but I need to keep up with them because of work

I do that too, but I got way too many ppl on wa and its hard to keep track of them.

gl keeping track of all the phone numbers…

I know, but they don’t give a fuck, and I need to keep up with my friends somehow.

u can’t do that without giving it permission to all contacts

what about signal…

well most ppl in the EU use WhatsApp and give wa access to their contacts…

Yes they do, when I message them via sms, which I’ve done w most od my contacts list

what about signal, is that illegal aswell?

what about signal, is that illegal aswell?

what about signal?

but everyone I know uses them and no, they’re not switching to signal…

yeah, how do you keep track of their names?
