Fyi she asked for them and we got married last Friday after 5,5 years together and she sent me a few pics which i didn’t keep or download on my end but it was over WhatsApp so they are already in the system asshole.
Have some dic pics that were uploaded that i sent to my gf when we started dating and i’m glad i didn’t delete them because now they have to look at my junk every time they decide to go snooping around where they shouldn’t.
This might be a good thing, i mean it will suck for sure but this might be the incentive that even those not tech savvy need to start looking at alternatives (graphene os, linux phones) and free themselves from their digital prison.
We use Signal at the moment, we haven’t used WhatsApp between us at least for almost 5 years.
