      Saw all of this going to happen when whats app was sold to FB. From that time on I was still trying to find an alt msg app where most of my contact would be on. The other alternatives are Line, Wechat, Telegram, viber & Hike. You can also include Skype.

Nowadays, Viber and Telegram (especially latter) are pretty good alternatives for whatsapp. I say alternatives, although i never used whatsapp myself. Every bit of data you are giving to Google or FB is to give it to New World Order.

                      Same here. I took on WhatsApp before many people knew about it. I found out about WhatsApp the same year it was released when I had my Nokia E51 and the OVI store was the portal that introduced me to it. I uninstalled it because none of my contacts were on it (I got it too early) and these days EVERYBODY is basically on it. I was one of the very first to use it and it feels good. WhatsApp is now the pinnacle of smartphones.
