WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with Facebook or stop using app

This is changing rapidly. Many people I know are moving Signal. Also, don’t delete WhatsApp right away. Do a “silent” move: whenever people send you a WhatsApp answer on iMessage if they’re Apple users and actively push the Android friends over to signal. Works well in my case.

I like the simple idea of replying on another service, thanks for that.

I'm taking this approach now too. There's a free text status message as well that's suitable for the purpose.

App is going in February though.
