WhatsApp is primarily a text-based chat interface and it has pretty much universal adoption in the countries where it's popular.

I guess you haven't been in enough group chats. There's a reason it has dedicated emoji button with GIFs, avatars, stickers.

Which is, of course, not how people primarily communicate on WhatsApp (or any communication based app). People don't send streams of videos to each other in group chats. They write text and add gif memes.

I would send a semi funny emoji riddled message but HN won't let me, for obvious reasons.
