Not all of us are wild about FB Messenger, WhatsApp (which I still haven't installed), etc.

I am even a bit frustrated about being forced to install FB Messenger because Facebook no longer has private messaging in their own framework. I sometimes needed to ask people in a FB group a question and added "please email me, I don't have Messenger" ; result: lot of people not understanding and using Messenger anyway. After 15 unread PM's awaiting me without being able to access them, I gave in and installed FB Messenger on my tablet. But I still don't like it (hence I only installed it on my tablet, not on my PC) ; it would never be a replacement for email IMO.

Maybe I'm getting old fashioned, especially with the "millennials" I see everyone staring at their smartphone checking Facebook, WhatsApp etc all the time ...
