I use it fairly often, handy if your phone reception is crap but you have WiFi.

I have to say that feature has zero impact on my usage.

What sort of messages are you sending?!?

I have several friends who are UBER security conscious with their online presence who refused to use it before it had end 2 end, nothing dodgy just principle based around who could potentially see what be that targeted advertising or government snooping on people.

Most soitanly.
I am a recipient of messages most when the girlfriend and I go for a scan. Her, and her 2 sisters and mother, then send around 813 messages, with a myriad of emojis, and in Spanish, within 14 minutes. I feel my brothers, sister and I mum don't have this relationship in which we share, or rejoice, with many a word. But on a particular day I messaged Mother Meade to see if she had time for a quick chat, to send her a picture of the scan, and look forward together for this new member of the clan. I had a reply from her 8 hours later. She was happy, yes, but welcoming immediacy was not apparent.

Yes, I use it a lot to keep in touch with my family.

This.

We have a family WhatsApp group and I'm in a couple of Albion fan groups.

I also have one with a couple of friends for our 'Bellend or Legend' game.

It's very useful for calling as well. Our daughter has crap phone reception in her flat, but really good wifi

I use a combination of SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Google Hangouts and Facebook Messenger. Which one I use depends on who I'm trying to contact, although it's not a system I could actually explain to anyone else if they asked me.

Could you please explain your system?

No, I understood what you were saying.

If you do some basic extrapolation across the two tables I posted, they do indicate that iPhones are used extensively more by NSCers than Android phones.

Why that is, given Android's dominance across the mobile market aaa while, I don't know.

Maybe there's some reason Android users don't use NSC on their phone as much. Is Tapatalk a bit crap on Android? Or perhaps the demographic who tend to buy iPhones are those who are more likely to use it for things like NSC?

I must say, I'm Android user and I've never used my phone for NSC. (Mainly because it looks like I'm working if I use my laptop)

Primary method of communication and absolutely vital to ensure my pauper friends with non-iphones can still take part in group discussions.

Tapatalk is a small %age of NSC usage.

I suspect you're unusual if you never access NSC away from your work desk.

I do use it at home sometimes, just not on my phone.

Don't use it all the time, but I'm a member of several different groups and it's great for that. Also image sending.

my most used app. uses data not network as mentioned above, the blue ticks are v useful, and apple is too restrictive...

And you're one of the three people who have WhatsApped me!

You don't SMS me, you iMessage me. Why don't you WhatsApp me? [MENTION=357]afters[/MENTION] above managed it so, presumably, I'm discoverable on there or something.
