The interface is simple and no frills, with all the functions to send photos and voice notes, and that’s the pure genius in it. Social circles do carry over to technological usage.

The reason I use it so often is primarily because everyone I converse with regularly is on it. That’s because it’s the world’s preferred messaging service even if that’s not the case (yet) in the U.S. WhatsApp isn’t as much as a VoIP service or multi-platform as the others but I could never write this post without including it.

International calls (in the sense, they're international from the U.S.) do incur a small cost.
