    I’m gonna guess that most people (myself included) saw the candybar format and the word “Nokia” and assumed it was a “dumb” phone. I’m guessing they looked at the messaging app with the largest or broadest market share and used that as a point to clarify that it’s a “smart” phone.

      Indeed.

      WhatsApp is Meta and should be avoided as much as possible, but there are some countries where it’s everywhere.

      I just looked up a flat rental for summer, got contacted by the agency on Whatsapp. I’m not going to try to convert a real estate agent to Delta chat or Signal.
