@WhatsApp is down. Consider using @signalapp, instead. I do, and it's recommended by many security & privacy-focused folks.

Don't wait till @WhatsApp services come up. Your communication shouldn't be dependent on single service. Use privacy friendly FOSS alternatives like @signalapp & @element_hq #WhatsAppDown #WhatsApp

@dj3000 @WhatsApp @signalapp I’ve not experienced any issues with spontaneous unlinking…but I didn’t know there was no backup on iOS! That’s terrible. What’s WhatsApp backup on iOS like? My experience on Android as someone who doesn’t want it in the cloud has been nightmarish…
