The sad thought crossed my mind: people using Whatsapp to have last calls with family members dying of e.g. COVID, trying terribly to get onto telegram or something but having no luck getting through since everything was degraded. Kinda ruined the few hours of fun for me.
I seriously doubt those people couldn't just call normally instead
The phone call might be right before ventilation rather than last words too.

They probably could have paid extra money out of pocket to call normally and get a substandard experience.

At the end of the day, Whatsapp is reliable communication infrastructure and it does get used for all sorts of critical things. It's also a backbone for commerce in many parts of the world. Believe it or not, not every country has billions to invest in robust, secure IT infrastructure.

People dying of COVID are usually heavily sedated with a tube down their tracheae. They don’t have last words, they either get better or die.
1. on call nurse txts "its time"
2. you confirm that he/she will initiate a call in 20 mins over whatsapp/viber/messenger
3. The nurse holds up the ipad over your loved one's face
4.
If your life gets negatively affected by whatsapp being unavailable, order a new life instead. At least install Signal, Telegram et al and wean everyone else out of fb-wa.
I invite you to see life through other people’s eyes every once in a while. I promise it’ll be worth it.
