I read the telegram FA Q they have all the things WhatsApp is lacking. Like across device support, more people on groups, self destructing messages etc. I suggest that you read it and get inspired https://telegram.org/faq

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Ok. Then they will need to go the way of the Chinese whatsaap (forgot what it is called) amd actually get plugins for shopping and stuff. But it'll be hard, when you're used to living one way its hard for someone to change the way you do things (like a bidet, it just never became popular here)
