How long will it take to turn it into advert-ridden spyware?

Goodbye WhatsApp.

Theres another piece of software on the not-in-a-million-years list. I use Line, but I dont know how wide spread it is in the UK.

I don't know anyone who uses it, but that might just be my age bracket. I know a couple of people that use Viber, and a few who still own Blackberries who use BBM.

I often try not to put all my eggs in one basket (in this case, Google) so I guess BBM could be a decent option.
