You expect me to feel sorry for people having Instagram and Threads?

I wouldn't even download it if they paid me for it.

WhatsApps main "killer feature" was being early in the market to quickly reach a critical user mass.

Doesn't matter which competitor, people will install an alternative, see that only 5-10% of their contacts have it and will immediately uninstall.

I see potential in preinstalled messaging apps. But it needs to be cross-compatible between iOS and Android. Otherwise it won't fly.

Many have tried, many have failed.

You simply need a killer feature to get people to change.

I actually have issues with wefwef now, gives me a lot of errors.

But I think the next days will be a little rough because of many new signups.

That's what happens if you try too hard to milk an existing franchise instead of going with your own ideas...

All yours, I'm good.

So they did something right for the wrong reasons and with the wrong measures?

Which, in this particular case, wouldn't be a bad thing. Just integrate the community aspects into Google Maps, make them optional.
