      uninstalling

        I didn't think it would be possible to ruin an app that's considered essential to have for basic communication in many countries, but if WhatsApp keeps being enshittified with AI, then that might be the case.

        From his fashion choices, to his yapping about "masculine energy", to his incredibly stupid business decisions, Mark Zuckerberg truly is an idiot.

              Meta should be shattered, American IT companies make monopolies. Microsoft, Google-Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and a few others should be recognized as monopolies and shattered up into smaller companies.

                Whatsapp is turning into a bloated mess

                        ... soo... this gives Meta unrestricted access and permission to use the user's cameras and microphones front and back to realistically make use of it....

                        "TicTok devs be like... Huh!?!"

                          Ah sh*it, here we go again...

                            I have nothing against all these new features, as long as I can uninstall them without damaging my unit. My phones are already littered with useless and uninstallable apps that constantly access the internet for no reason. Maybe it's something for the EU to deal with...

                              Stop shoving AI down our throats please. I'm starting to hate Meta.

                                We already have that UGLY Google search bar at the bottom of the home screen which is Non-removable even with some of the third party launchers. Who want one more search widget, and that too from Meta, on the home screen?

                                  Stacking AI and Search boxes on the homescreen gives me "me too many Internet explorer toolbars" vibes

                                    WhatsApp wants a lot .

                                      "..or tap the right side and choose a photo which will then be instantly shared with Meta AI. "

                                      I'm sure that's exactly what everyone has been waiting for. Like, seriously who wouldn't want to do that?

                                        I only use Whatsapp to talk to family, friends and work.
                                        I dont have any social media. Not even a YouTube account.

                                        I am ok living like that.
