Poll: Switching from WhatsApp

Here in Japan literally everyone uses LINE and it is far better than WhatsApp. Way more features, it's independent and the business model is sane and clear.

I just switched my family to it, because that was the last reason for me to use WhatsApp.

I'm sad not to se it as an option.

LINE seems to be the predominate messenger in all of Asia. I find it highly interesting to see even the Japanese rely on this Korean Plattform. Do they not fear a service blockage based on their countries political relationship?

It was created in Japan though by employees of Naver's Tokyo branch.
