WhatsApp is what you use on your phone.

WhatsApp web is what you use on the computer. Typing is much faster since you use a standard keyboard to type instead of a tiny smartphone keyboard.

Many are still using, it’s the only solution to link phone and older OS system lah.

My company has suggested that we removed both WhatsApp and WeChat from our company phone. Only use zoom which is officially okayed by our company IT department.

True. They can also do that but for now it's the WhatsApp web where they are doing it, so mata is cautioning us.

True story.. recently I received an unsolicited WhatsApp message on my phone. Sender has a profile picture of a chiobu.  And the sender said "she's" from a research company and asked me to take part in a short survey. "Her" company will pay me $20.

How is "she" going to pay me unless I give "her" my bank account number right. Red flag lumber huan. If a stranger says he will pay you $$$, be careful not to give your bank erkount information to him ah. 

Well, before "she" and I got to that... "she" sent me a link. Just click on it to open a file to do the survey. Red flag lunber choo. Never never click on any link or your phone will be compromised and practically taken over by the scammer.

I played along with "her" for a while but made an ass of him. After that I clicked Block and Report.. "She" came back with another account and 我又再把”她”拉黑。

I won't suggest that you do what I did though.
