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.

I find it more reliable, and the sound quality is superior to whatsapp or facebook messenger. Cheers, Cris I never tried to compare the data usage to know if it uses more or less data. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Craig Werner Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2017 10:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: 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.
