    In Europe WhatsApp is much more popular than Message (iPhone only??)

    Personal preference, most likely. Are they young?

    Between Messager and Whatsapp, there is no differences in safety ans use ?

    So , some people just demand whatsapp because they like it....I guess

    I hardly ever used Messager, but with whatsapp it’s easy to create groups, share (one timej media, create polls, share documents. And everything is encrypted

    With my old cell with WiFi connection, I can connect to FB / Messager...no SIM card
    but
    With Whatsapp, one must need a SIM, so...they can see my my cell number ?

    My current theory

    With Messager you mean the message function of Facebook?
    I thought you were using iMessage on the iPhone..

    I’ve never used the message tool of Facebook and also stopped using FB at least 6 years ago
