I instantly edited my comment when I re-read the title to check if op actually said “forced”. Thanks for reading my full comment.

Isn’t it so cool? It keeps me motivated to argue.

No one said it is forced. It ia relatable to me as I live in East Europe and all my people use WhatsApp. It really is the main way of communication.

Businesses also use WhatsApp. Like boutique or handmade good stores, to have special requests or, for anything you can name as a conversation.

We have family group in WhatsApp. Any special occasion or events, we communicate on that group.

Like, 10-15 years before, it was MSN or equivalents. It evolved to WhatsApp. Telegram, too.

edit: Sorry I misread the title :) But I still don’t think people are forced to use WhatsApp. This is the way it goes.

You must use this app. It automatically locks your screen and disable the touchscreen so it does not accidentally dial numbers or anything.
