#AskFedi
I dislike #WhatsApp with a passion, but need to access it as many of my local parent groups use it. Yes, Meta is super gross etc. but also just the UI drives me bonkers. It’s not legible to my brain.
Are there alternate apps/interfaces one can use, like a third-party app, so I can still see the chats but not have to touch the actual WhatsApp app?
Thanks for any ideas!
