I add an item to my shopping cart online, go through the checkout process, but then have a last-minute change of heart. I decide not to buy for whatever reason, expecting the story to end there, but it doesn’t.
Less than a day later, the company is already messaging me on WhatsApp, asking if they can assist me with anything so I can complete my purchase. Wait a minute, I don’t remember signing up for this!
While this is a minor problem since it doesn’t happen often, a bigger issue is all the crypto groups I get added to on WhatsApp that promise to make me a millionaire with their sky-high returns.
While I generally like WhatsApp, it’s full of spam, and I’m getting tired of it. And I’m not the only one, with people on Reddit constantly venting about unsolicited messages they are receiving.
The issue can easily be solved, though, if WhatsApp would implement this one simple feature that’s available on its rival, Signal.
