How WhatsApp Has Changed Our Lives

With two billion users, WhatsApp is the most popular messaging platform in the world. Launched by Yahoo alumni Brian Acton and Jan Coom in 2009 it was bought by Facebook five years later. The first of my WhatsApp group chats to light up today was my wordle one. My email inbox is just work and spam and newsletters I can't figure out how to unsubscribe from,. My Instagram feed is gorgeous to look at, but it's just entertainment to be scrolled with a pinch of soul. Whatsapp is the bit on my phone where my real life happens.
