I don't think many people migrated to Whatsapp because it's more secure and private than SMS. I think people migrated because it was free and it had better functionality than SMS. If they did migrate because of privacy and sercurity, how come they don't migrate to apps with better privacy right now?

People migrated to whatsapp because you could talk for free over your internet connection at home. At least in poorer countries.
