What software helps us more than WhatsApp?

I started writing about this on 15 July 2021, after thinking a lot about it.

I don't write this gladly. Who the fuck is glad to incur really high costs and get little of the benefits one wants? Anyway, I prefer examples to counterexamples. I'll focus gladly on the services that you and I find more helpful.

1. We've been using WhatsApp e.g. because some people have placed orders with us using this software.

2.1 After creating a new group, WhatsApp logged me out and displayed the message: "[telephone number] cannot currently use WhatsApp because it is violating our Commerce Policy."

This makes no sense to me. As long as they don't prove we've offered services that are not on their whitelist, we can't be bothered with WhatsApp.

Then: "This account is not allowed to use WhatsApp due to spam."

We help people avoid unwanted messages.

We want software developers that help provide legal services. It is legal to provide some of the services for which Meta doesn't want people to use WhatsApp. They might want us to use Facebook.

Some people have used Facebook to offer illegal services.

Given how many messages Meta sends among the users of its software, we don't list WhatsApp here.

2.2 I've pressed: "Request an activity report"

WhatsApp hasn't provided it.

We want to use software that carries out the commands users give.

2.3 One can use software like WhatsApp when one wants / accepts to lose some messages.

We want software that stores all our data until we have it delete some of them.

2.4 To use software like WhatsApp, I'd use 2 computers.

I want to use my desktop computer.

A reason is to pay enough attention to my conversation partners.

2.5 When we use software like LinkedIn, each person shares e.g. their name.

Software like WhatsApp requires much more work: You must input a name for each contact person.

How would you feel if you spent your energy only on things that make sense or are necessary?

2.6 It is difficult to connect software like WhatsApp with other software, so that we organise our activities as well as customers require.

We can manage e.g. our communication more effectively using other software.

2.7 Sometimes WhatsApp didn't log a missed call placed by me.

It's easy to use software that actually helps us keep track of our interactions.

2.8 It is easy to use software from a developer that has designed better e.g. the notifications.

2.9 It is safer to use the Internet than telephone networks.

Sol Provider Management can help you to use software for which one doesn't need to provide a telephone number.

What do you require of software developers?
