That's just not true. It was my non-tech friends who suggested we move off WhatsApp. And zero objections from anyone in my WhatsApp groups.

In my contact circle many people have academic degrees or work in tech jobs and only about 1 out of 10 people would consider switching. I have asked, they just don't care to "have 5 different chat apps installed", when they can "just use WhatsApp".
