    @wa_status It seems WhatsApp group messages are down, only personal messages work. Another reason why everyone should have @signalapp installed, at least as a backup.

    @signalapp Terrible idea. I thought you guys were changing the game by making security convenient. The number of texting apps I want to interact with is exactly one.

    Since #WhatsApp is down right now, you might just want to do the right thing and install @Element_hq and @signalapp and beginn ditching the Facebook spyware. Tell all your contacts too. You are too valuable to engage with a company like Facebook.
