[–] Exilfranke@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago WhatsApps main "killer feature" was being early in the market to quickly reach a critical user mass. Doesn't matter which competitor, people will install an alternative, see that only 5-10% of their contacts have it and will immediately uninstall. I see potential in preinstalled messaging apps. But it needs to be cross-compatible between iOS and Android. Otherwise it won't fly. permalink fedilink source parent
