Hi @kunalb11
I’ll keep this short because I think you appreciate directness.
WhatsApp is the last personal space we have on the internet. No algorithms. No follower counts. No performance. Just people talking to people.
Every other app has turned into a stage. WhatsApp is still a room.
And now — with channels, status updates being pushed harder, and the slow creep of social features — I worry we’re about to lose that too.
The beauty of WhatsApp was never in its features. It was in its restraint. Simple. Sober. Personal. The one app where I don’t have to be a brand, I can just be a person.
I have no doubt you understand this better than most — you’ve built CRED on the philosophy of trust and user experience. So I’m not writing this out of frustration. I’m writing this out of hope.
Please advocate for keeping WhatsApp what it is. Don’t let it become the next Instagram.
It’s the only app left where people are still real.
Thanks & regards
