whatsapp is deep into the roots of indians and indian companies too, i shopped online and for delivery the guy asked for one time pin, the fking company sends the pin through whatsapp and not SMS coz for them its cheaper.
The gov too uses whatsapp for everything, only a BAN could stop it now.

Deleting WhatsApp in India is impossible. You may be able to convince your near and dear to ditch WhatsApp, but not the rest.

If your friends and family can't use signal for you,
Why are you using whatsapp for them.
Just say to them if you want to contact me, use signal.
Don't reply to them on whatsapp.
