Certainly in Europe WhatsApp fills that gap. There isn't much point solely using iMessage when at least 50% of your friends have Android phones.

The web version is fast and functional too.

Does the web version keep login credentials well? I tried the desktop app, but it was taking an insane amount of storage for some reason.

You login with a QR code from your phone.

I don't think WhatsApp even has accounts - just phone numbers.

Oh I know. I meant whether the login stays persistent or whether you have to scan repeatedly on the web version. On the desktop app you can once and it lasts months.
