sell it to them as an alternative to calls + sms that's free when used over wifi. it already uses phone number as id
That's whatsapp
WhatsApp is owned by Meta as well
Yeah it's pretty cool.
way to miss the point
How did he miss the point? If his family is already using WhatsApp selling the idea that it’s free calling + texting over wifi does nothing. They already have that.
He should be trying to sell privacy but unfortunately not enough people care about it.
