Okay I’m done with WhatsApp it’s clear they don’t want to sit down with me and tell me what the heck is going on with my account so
Is there any free WhatsApp alternatives that will allow me to talk to everyone and allow me to add contacts to address book like WhatsApp
Something basically like WhatsApp but something that’s not WhatsApp
Later I’m planning on contacting the direct company with WhatsApp matter, Because this is never happened to me before
But until then are there any free WhatsApp like alternatives

If you can get folks onto either of the following applications, the below are all accessible on the mobile side.

1. KakaoTalk:

(Also accessible via MacOS. Unsure with Windows, as of this writing).

2. Line:
https://line.me/en/

Line is usable on MacOS, though requires VOCR.

I am known as 'queenslight' on both, if ya wish to reach me on either platform.

I should do a comparison between the two at some point, since both have their pros & cons to each, depending on your use case.

There is also Signal, but I'm not sure how many people actually use it. I have the app installed, but I don't think anyone has messaged me on it since most people I know use WhatsApp.

The ideal solution would be to find an app that doesn't require giving out your phone number. That's where Kik was handy because it only used usernames. However, as they added more features, it became unusable so I left.
