This is not a poll. The interesting part about this post is why people accept it or what they do in order to not accept it. You did not contribute anything interesting by saying "I accepted the terms".
I accepted it because it's more convenient than dismissing the popup every time I want to send someone a message.
As of WhatsApp. Refused to install the app even before FB bought it. Lucky me was right for once.
People seeing this post are split to 2 groups: - Those who didn't accept the new terms are glad to use the opportunity to virtue-signal. - Those who accepted the new terms are afraid to admit so. I'll bite the bullet: I accepted the terms. If you want more honest opinions, you should probably post an anonymous poll.
They all switched, except my sister who works with people in countries where Whatsapp is the dominant communication platform.
I'm still ticked off that Google Allo was the best designed chat app of the past decade and that they thought Messages with RCS features could take its place.

I am not sure how hard it is to grasp that some people just don't use any of it. But I guess this is where you come to virtue signal about virtue signalling.
Besides, when you boot up your phone and you see the Android logo, you're fucked anyways.
Nobody is talking about how ridiculous it is that none of these messaging apps talk to the other. everyone i know uses whatsapp and nothing else, no real choice until the apps talk to each other.
Why would WhatsApp ever have this functionality? It would do serious damage to the walled garden which they've so successfully built.
I would expect the competition and markets authority to act.

Problem is that everyone knows the spyware issue, but if you leave WhatsApp, install every secure messenger that no one you know uses, you'll be a lonely guy.
Real security it turns out is just not communicating.
I immediately closed my WhatsApp account and moved to Telegram, and I urged anyone in my family who wanted me in a group to do the same. They all switched, except my sister who works with people in countries where Whatsapp is the dominant communication platform.

This. Allo was baller and I used it to chat with basically everyone and then it shut down. Took me years to convince anyone to switch off of WhatsApp after that
