I do, but then I actually use WhatsApp on a daily basis, like everyone else over here. Even my mother of 83. It's as normal to have and use as a phone.

It's more personal, you chat 1 on 1, although you can also have group chats, you can send photos with ease, take a photo & send it right away, or do face calls, send voice messages etc.
It's like making a phone call. You can actually make a phone call via WhatsApp as well.

And with that it's entirely different from a dating site.
But since it's more personal -to me anyways- I don't add anyone to it just like that. It's family and friends and if I have a partner, him too of course.

Maybe that's why scammers try to get you to it? --> Emotionally, you feel more comfortable and are more open. As a result, you can also fall for things more easily.

yes its true

One problem with chatting on this site is that chat messages are limited to 500 characters. This is a problem for loquacious people; those who tend to be brief have no problem with the limit.

Talking on the phone does not work well for those who are hard of hearing.

Anyone taking there is going to ask you for money period

I frequently talk with my daughter and family in Australia using WhatsApp, saves a lot of money when the calls are free. I would be careful going off Mingle2 website to chat with people I have never met. Never used Telegram so I cannot comment on it.

I always suggest it to go to telegran because the enviro,ent is much more user friendly and it looks way much nicer and more possibilities to contact. If I get a reauest myself i always seek the persons photo on pimeyes.com to see if its a legit person.

Not true

yes that's true
