Thank you!

Yeah, you are partly right about that (they are not there for confusion's sake).

I just didn't had the stomach to leave those things unmentioned as I'm personally not fond of the monopoly either. So thought to still at least put somewhere at the end. Make some poweruser grandmas:)

Whatsapp, indeed is a good idea, will add that, thanks!

And then, since you have one base covered for one "sphere" of the world, you also need to cover Telegram and Facebook Messenger, rofl

Thanks for the reply! I completely understand, particularly regarding the monopoly, but do consider stuff that's technically 'non-standard' in an advanced module. It's hard enough to explain to my mum (at least) one concept - explaining a secondary app store, or to use a browser that none of her friends would be using isn't the quickest route to her grasping stuff (or indeed comparing experiences with her friends).
