    Since #WhatsApp is down right now, you might just want to do the right thing and install @Element_hq and @signalapp and beginn ditching the Facebook spyware. Tell all your contacts too. You are too valuable to engage with a company like Facebook.

    @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…
