Why would you recommend texting as an alternative?
not as an alternative to Whatsapp, I mean not bothering with an alternative to texting. there is no need for something like Whatsapp because everything it does is already part of just texting normally. Whatsapp is a texting alternative, and as such is pointless.
Texting doesnβt do end-to-end encryption though, which is a dealbreaker for many.
sure but if Whatsapp was in consideration security clearly isn't.
