Thanks to both Arthur and Buzzer who attempted to bring me into 2017 by WhatsApp-ing me... ...on Wednesday... ...which I've only just seen.

Everyone I need to share pics and videos with has an iPhone. I do it via iMessage for no cost. That's why. I'm clearly a freak (or more of a freak than I already knew myself to be).

What has open source got to do with it? WhatsApp is a proprietary platform owned by Facebook. With WhatsApp you are beholden to Facebook and Zuckerburg and you are the product being sold (to advertisers). If you are a Facebook user, your WhatsApp activity will help determine targeting of...

So why after years of FB Messenger and iMessages from you did you send me a WhatsApp thingummy recently? That's what I'm not getting. I have probably had WhatsApp installed for years, just never used that I could recall. I feel like Bens Grandad here.

I don't know how afters (and Simster, one of the others to WhatsApp me) knew I did. To be honest, I didn't know I did. So, there must be some sort of discoverability thing going on for those two esteemed chaps to suddenly WhatsApp me out of the blue recently.

Indeed. iPhone still beats all Android (including Android tablets) though. Next?

I didn't mean it! Not knowing any iPhone owners seems to be a bit of an anomaly, as does NSC's usage statistics given that Android ownership dwarfs iPhone ownership.

More seriously, NSC usage last month...

I think that says a lot about the people each of us chooses to mix with.

Everyone I need contact with has an iPhone so FaceTime is used. Maybe that's why I don't use it.

One of NSC's advertising partners just sent an email to a group of site owners asking for our details to be added to their WhatsApp group. What I thought was interesting was what seemed to be an assumption that everyone uses WhatsApp. I have it on my phone but I think I've only used it 4 or 5...
