I have WhatsApp and Viber. 95% of people use WhatsApp, even though I prefer Viber. I do not really have anything against it, even if FB owns it. And I do not have a FB account.

WhatsApp is like hemorrhoids, you can try to ignore it but it's getting your attention eventually no matter how hard you try.
