Whatsapp is the new SMS
Whatsapp has deteriorated significantly in the last few years. From a default secure chat, it has become an avenue for businesses to push for more products and services. There's nothing wrong in it, but add to it the almost infinite number of groups, it is better to not be on Whatsapp. I am thinking if now is the time. I keep my Whatsapp notifications on mute nevertheless.
In other words, I open my SMS application only to look for OTPs. I am thinking of doing the same with Whatsapp.
Whatsapp Spam Blast
I have received the following business promotional messages in the last 24 hours - HDFC Bank, Jupiter, bbdaily, Prepladder, Clove Dental, 99 acres, Jumbaya.
I understand the businesses seeking the same as Whatsapp provides a great curated audience for push sales. I wonder, how much are the Whatsapp users enjoying the same.
