The UX and feature set of WhatsApp is much better than SMS. India has practically free SMS but WhatsApp remains pervasive.

WhatsApp is the “best” Meta app by far. It does just offer an easy, secure way of contacting people using their phone number, through text, voice, images, video.

None of their other apps come close. It doesn’t even look like a Meta product to me.

They acquired instagram too, and somehow they transformed that into the same sort of shithole as modern Facebook...

As the other user pointed out, it definitely stands out among other product acquisitions.

What makes WhatsApp superior to Telegram and/or Signal?
