Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp? - Lemmy.world

… is it possible to do any kind of business and/or have regular conversations without having to use whatsapp as a main way of communication? If you’d like you can say in what country you’re living.

US here, and yes, easily. I have WhatsApp installed on my phone but it’s probably been over a year since I used it last. SMS, email, and Facebook Messenger are the media of choice in my social circle. Work communication is over Slack and email.

But if someone wanted to use WhatsApp to talk to me, I’d use it without being bothered much.
