I love WhatsApp! My lovely DDs send me jolly messages all the the time and photos of what they are all doing so it is like sharing all this when I cannot be with them. They can do this speedily and easily in between what they need to do rather than having to carve out a long slot to talk in their busy lives. It is a godsend for me.
And I have lots of chats with friends ... jokes shared on the spur of the moment ... requests for help .... ideas and pics.
I am also on several whatsapp groups where we share info about what is happening, offer up things we do not need, provide support, and ask for help ... lifts, info, advice etc.
I get to "talk" with everyone far more than if I had to rely on phone only ... and WhatsApp video calls with family are great.
