I am abroad and have lots of friends that won’t download WhatsApp, so I use Instagram to contact them. Also, a couple of family friends have reached out to me with news or something. It does have a niche for me as a messaging app like Facebook, even if the only reason I use it is simply because other people won’t not use it.

Thank you this is what I was looking for

How does my default phone app on Android threaten my security? Does this app use data for calls or cell connection?

Giving up your right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is like giving up your freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
