Important way to keep in touch for families
This app has been central in keeping my family connected. In my community, people often go to school and/or move to live all around the world. When my first daughter went to school in a different hemisphere than the rest of us, we all had to have different passcodes so as to be able to call each other without spending hundreds of dollars,sometimes for even one voice call. In the years before we found WhatsApp, I could only manage to get in touch with family members individually. I certainly couldn’t keep contact day by day - there were too many of them, thank G-d. Now we not only have a family chat, we can have impromptu family video calls. WhatsApp actually saved the life of one of my children, because they were too sick to even know how sick they were, much less call for help. When a sibling discovered what was going on, my children ended up in the hospital for a few days. I don’t have the time or space to describe the incredible asset WhatsApp has been for my family!
