Though it's worth noting that, currently, you need to relaunch WhatsApp on a device every few weeks.

I thought this would be my key to being able to uninstall WhatsApp, but it's not quite.

Also, people have an annoying habit of calling me via WhatsApp, which currently has no implementation in Beeper. This results in a hasty launch of WhatsApp, which then has to catch up with all the messages sent since the last launch, and I'll inevitably miss the call.

I hate that "feature" with a burning passion. It's almost always worse than a regular phonecall and yet explaining to my boomer relatives why they can hear me much more clearly when I call them has not managed to change their preferred method of calling me.

I find it works well for me, especially internationally. I don't want to think of the fees I'd rack up with normal calls.
