This is a very good example of a reply that doesn't help at all. Sorry.

You aren't aware of eveyones contexts so assuming everyone can simply ditch communication apps is very narrow minded. Many people have family members that aren't well versed in tech and in many situations calling isn't an option. My 70 years old mom for example would probably find easier to write me a letter and send it through mail than to learn how to use a new app (she can't call since we live in different countries). Whenever they even change the app layout is a pain.

I deeply hate Whatsapp with all my might but there are sacrifices that need to be done for people you care about.
