Can anyone explain the pros and cons of whatsapp to a dinosaur

In the past I've had a couple of people on fab(someone you suspect might not be genuine) very early on in a conversation asking you if you have whatsapp

Is that a warning sign and for what reason does it benefit them if that makes sense ?

I guess gut feelings are best but just wondered if it's for innocent reasons ?

Go kik. Doesn't involve phone numbers.

People can see when you’re online with WhatsApp.

Also WhatsApp seems to occasionally link up with Facebook if you're settings aren't correct.

You can send more than one pic at a time.

On WhatsApp you can choose either usual type phone calls or video calls. . . Also text messaging.

Encrypted so safe from hackers etc.

All good if it's for some one you don't mind passing your phone number to

There are no randoms messaging, sending dick pics

People seem to just search random usernames on kik and send ridiculous messages.

People always seem super worried about giving their number out....I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not giving it out willy nilly, but if i wanna meet someone, it seems logical to let them put my number in their phone before I fuck em

And you can block numbers, just like you'd block someone here

Photos and emojis are free to send. This isn't the case for a text message unless you've got mms included in your phone deal.

If you pay as you go, each multi media msg will cost you more to send.

You do have to give your number out with whatsapp, so if you don't want to do that install kik instead.

"Go kik. Doesn't involve phone numbers. "

This, what’s app shows your number, Kik just shows your user name.

Whilst I’d initially be cautious, I also appreciate fab messages aren’t as slick as other services.

Just take the usual internet safety precautions, ie don’t start sending loads of personal info pics etc. I actually prefer chatting on Kik as it’s instant (fabs emails often come much later than the message)

But above all use common sense and you’ll be fine.

If you’re worried it’s a guy pretending to be a lady/couple look for tell tales like straight away telling you how horny they are or wanting nude pics straight away etc.

Just my 2p worth.

Happy Swinging.

Kik much safer, you don't want to be giving out your phone number.

I don't use it anymore it's owned by Facebook so therefore by definition it will be intrusive

Just more convenient, with more features, such as text, picture messaging, voice notes, video calling etc. It does however require exchanging numbers, and if your number is linked to your social media such a Facebook and Instagram you can be easily found.

I don’t think I would assume someone was not genuine because they asked for your WhatsApp. I prefer to use it to communicate once I’ve gotten to know someone a little on here, sometimes that can be after a few days or a few hours of messaging. Just depends if there were any other red flags with whoever was asking you.
