Yeah ... I begrudgingly have WhatsApp because everyone else uses it. I've already opted out of FB Marketplace which everyone around my area uses apparently.

I keep getting links to Instagram or Tiktok and I have to find the "continue to web" link just to know what my friends are showing me.

I also don't know why AliExpress and Temu want me to install their apps. There's like no way I'm going to install an app for that ...

Seal is a good workaround app for seeing videos behind links you don't want to open. Sometimes I get Instagram or tiktok links I can't open, so I just paste the video link into the downloader, watch it once, and then discard it.

When people send me tiktok videos i just answer "remember that i don't have tiktok so i can't see it?" And after a while, they download it for me
