what would It do, that WhatsApp currently doesn't ?

Facebook gave you access to friends of friends, which was huge when EVERYONE was on it. That coupled with the Events system was pretty awesome. I don’t know if WhatsApp does this TBH, but it’s something you don’t get with typical messengers.
I don't use WA, but perhaps there could be better discoverability if you have many friends, where the algo could try to prioritize the posts for you.
