RE: WhatsApp or FaceTime: Keeping up with a Friend from Germany
Now regarding sound quality I think that is subjective, personally I can't tell a difference in quality whether it's Facetime Audio, Whats App or Skype. Where you can tell a huge difference is if you send a voice message via Whats App and via iMessage. I really can't understand why Apple who normally are all about quality and sound quality especially make iMessages sound like you are listening to a message recorded on an old micro tape answering machine. Whats App messages sound perfect and one of my friends in Germany and I always use Facetime when we want to talk just because we both have iPhones and it seems the natural thing to do, but if we leave each other a voice message we use Whats App just because iMessage sounds so horrible. Apple should really be ashamed that they haven't improved this after having introduced the feature I think 3 years ago now or maybe it was already in iOS 7 which was 4 years ago.

RE: WhatsApp or FaceTime: Keeping up with a Friend from Germany
I have had Whats App on my iPhone for many years and while I don't use it a lot I never had any issues. In any case, if Facetime is an option then why not use it, it's already there on your phone without installing anything else, you can use SIRI to ask to call somebody either using Facetime or Facetime Audio and you can use iMessage. OK, I guess since iOS 10 you can also use SIRI to ask to call somebody via Whats App, but still I would use Facetime if all parties who need to call or be called have an iPhone. Tell your german friend "Sieghard aus Steinau sagt Hallo". Is she blind? Just curious because if she is she may have gone to the German Secondary School for the Blind in Marburg where I also went and did my Grade 13.

WhatsApp or FaceTime: Keeping up with a Friend from Germany
Hello, everyone. A friend of mine from Germany is visiting the U.S. for a few weeks and has brought her iPhone with her. She does not have a data plan for the States, and my phone plan does not allow me to phone a German mobile phone at a low cost. We are considering FaceTime or WhatsApp as a way to keep in touch. I am rather wary of WhatsApp since I have heard reports that its address book sharing can introduce malware into the iPhone. I have no idea if these reports are credible. Does anyone have any experience with comparing FaceTime and WhatsApp in a scenario such as the one I have described? Note that we are not interested in exchanging any video component, just voice data. Thank you for all help. Craig -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
