Episode description

WhatsApp is the default messaging app for crores of Indians. We're actually so depended on it for our everyday chats that we cannot leave it even if we wanted to. And trust us, Meta gives you a lot of reasons to switch away from WhatsApp, but we are sort of trapped in its web. In the fourth episode of The Bottom Line podcast, Shubham Sharma and Karandeep Singh draw parallels between the locked-in ecosystem of Apple iMessage in the US and WhatsApp for the rest of the world. They also discuss the mounting problems WhatsApp has been facing lately, which still haven't nudged people to look for alternatives.
