  It's not about switching media. I've never used IM.
That has nothing to do with email.
   I do use Zoom a bit. If someone asked me to use
another video chat I'd be happy to switch, as long as
it would work on my system. Facetime would be ruled
out because I don't use Macs. Skype? Why not? If
it works I don't care.

   As I said, I've only seen WhatsApp used for phone video
chat. I don't see any problem with using a different app
for that. You don't need any extended switching. Only
the person you're going to call with needs to switch.

  But maybe you use WhatsApp in a way I'm not familiar
with? If you use it a lot, with a lot of people, then I
can see how it would be hard to make a clean break.
I remember when people started hating Facebook and
the biggest complaint about quitting was: "But I wouldn't be
able to find out about parties!"

  So that's a case where a kind of chatting app had
turned into an indispensible switchboard for peoples'
entire social lives.

  It's hard to for to be informed about these things. I
don't use them and they change a lot. Phones, in
general, are hard for me to keep up with. The assumption
that everyone has a phone has become widespread very
quickly. This week I went to the chiropractor. When I
arrived they said I was supposed to call from outside!
Down the street I was browsing a real estate dealer's
window, because I was early for my chiropractor appt.
The listings had photos but no longer have any info.
You're supposed to scan a q-code through the window
if you want to know more!
