I’m not addicted. I hate it. It’s a horrible chat app. I especially hate the lack of threads (or at least pinned posts) in groups, I have to scroll through pages of garbage to see that important announcement. I also hate that it’s linked to my phone. If I want to use it on my computer, because I hate typing on phones, it needs my phone to be always connected.

I’m stuck with it because everyone else is using it.

You mean you keep using this thing despite hating it? Now I’ve known a few addicts in my time and that is pretty much the definition…

I know quite a few oxygen addicts then…

Jokes aside, saying that WhatsApp is an addiction is like saying that Americans are addicted to SMS, Imessage or whatever they use down there
