"How Millennial are you?" test

53.

Ha, me too. Born in 1993.

Who sends text messages nowadays though? That's what WhatsApp is for.

I asked this during a stock pitch, and I still can't begin to comprehend it or why it is used. This is why I avoid tech companies.

Basically just chatting with people on your phone, including the functionality to create group chats (a clear advantage over texting). It's really easy. I've heard it's more popular in Europe than in the U.S. because European carriers held on to high costs for texting longer, which is why Europeans switched to WhatsApp more often than Americans.

But you can have group chats with texting?

Hmmm true, if you send a message to various people and they reply to the same people. Anyway, I find WhatsApp to be more convenient, but that's obviously also the case because everyone uses it here.
