I don't want Meta AI in WhatsApp, even if it doesn't snoop on my texts (bgr.com)

Many countries like the UK charge 35p for an MMS. So to send pictures to anyone you needed an internet connected messenger.

SMS/MMS effectively died here.

So if I want to communicate everyone uses WhatsApp or iMessage

I love proton but I'd rather use SMS every damn day than WhatsApp
