What hassle would that be? They could send you SMS or call you.

Would they really find that too difficult? The mind boggles.

WhatsApp means groups. A lot of groups. Both long-living and ephemeral.

1 on 1 can be done. But group communication? They will leave you out and it will be your burden to get the info using another channels.

That seems quite the choice to make: learn about group chats or send all your data to Facebook.

It seems quite one-sided.
