The rest of the article (not translated) is an interview with Cathcart.

I guess the hopes of a mass migration to another app are not good. On the other side, Brazil's policies will have a great influence in the future development of whatsapp.

We really are social creatures. Went big on Orkut, Facebook, WhatsApp, and of course the current trends are YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. I think the only one that didn’t really take off that much (relatively speaking) was Snapchat.

Even finance apps had way too much social features, looking at you PicPay with the worst timeline feature ever: see people’s payments to each other lmao
