Sometimes in a group chat with members using different operating systems, one system will split up all the replies and you end up receiving a bunch of out-of-context text messages all day long. Also, some of the Spirit WhatsApp chats have hundreds of people in them. Not sure if you can have that many in a simple group text.

SMS texts are very unsecure and can be recovered by legal subpoena, etc from the cell company. Imessage (blue) is better but is Apple device specific.

WhatsApp allows for cross-platform messaging, secure, also video, photo, phone calls, via the app. Multi-Platform.

I see. WhatsApp says encrypted but really Facebook owns it all and has access.

I am not commenting on technical/usability advantages, but absolutely NONE of this stuff is secure. Nor is any of it unreachable by legal process.

By the way, Russia IS listening...(and China, and Iran, and Israel, and the NSA....)....

Actually, no, that’s just simple economics ... market forces, cost of labor and all that ...
