~~No Day Four? Nope—I didn't do a single thing, so I decided it wasn't worth making a blog post for. I'll add it to the stats though.~~ Edit: I did add the Day Four blog because it felt weird jumping from three to five.
Today, I created a group for all the remaining WhatsApp chats and sent messages to the groups I set up earlier, letting everyone know that I will definitely leave WhatsApp. After all, this experiment has no point if I keep using WhatsApp.
Some people were actually persuaded by this move, and a sense of FOMO even started to kick in for some.
That got me thinking—many people have asked, "Aren't you afraid to miss out?" I probably will miss out a bit, and that's okay. I'm actually looking forward to a simpler, more mellow messenger experience.
Oh, and I removed Instagram as well.
So, March 7 is the date I will uninstall WhatsApp. Not everyone has completely switched yet, but I hope more people will follow soon, and I can mark even more groups as fully moved.
