I don't use WhatsApp myself but I was surprised to find that members of my extended family (mostly in their 50s) had started using it to stay in touch rather than Facebook.

Also, from what I have read, WhatsApp is very popular in UK political circles (MPs, SPADs etc.).

They're still using Facebook, just one of its other shapes.

I think when people refer to Facebook they mean the social networking site, not a product of Facebook Inc.
