WhatsApp is that middle ground in some parts of the world.

Upon moving to Europe we discovered that WhatsApp is the preferred way to connect with friends, employees, social groups and schools. It was actually the driving factor in me conceding and setting up a FB account.

I don't think you need a FB account to have a Whatsapp account unless you imply they are the same (which I don't think).

IIRC I have not ever linked the two nor should FB have...

WhatsApp is owned by Meta/Facebook

Why would you need an FB account?

Sorry I meant setting up an account in the FB ecosystem. Prior to that I didn't use FB, WhatsApp or Instagram.
