It’s not nearly as common in the US as it seems to be in many places in Europe.
Comment on Why you might not want to use whatsapp anymore
Anders429@lemmy.world 11 months agoDang, I’m feeling pretty lucky that no one in my life uses WhatsApp. Sounds like that’s not the norm.

In europe literally everybody uses whatsapp you wont be able to do anything without it (docotrs, food delivery, literally every person like friends and familly, corona test results, company customer support, the list goes on)

That’s grossly exaggerated. I live in western Europe and never once used WhatsApp. There are very occasional frictions, like people being surprised I don’t have it. Then when I explain that it’s operated by Facebook, they are also surprised and sometimes are willing to quit themselves.

Friends and family, sure But in the UK nothing official is using WhatsApp. It’s all SMS or email. In which countries do companies use WhatsApp for customer support?
