Luckily i got no kids with some weird hobbies that require WA. And if I'd be in that position, I would still not use it. I don't like to be extorted, even not for "just an app". Be part of the problem or the solution.
It's not just weird hobbies here, but basically all that are somehow organized.
Also a lot of relevant school information is only shared within parent groups on WhatsApp.
My complete WhatsApp-boycott lasted exactly until the first of my childs entered school... :-(
Crap that surely sucks ass. Luckily i avoided having kids, so that'll never be a problem. But that's the problem with that crap, so many just using it because others do. And hence help keeping crap afloat 😒
