The switch from SMS to WhatsApp makes sense and you should not be afraid to try the app. Communication is much easier with WhatsApp and they get many additional features. For example, with WhatsApp you can also make phone calls and video chat. Since all data is transmitted via the Internet, there are no charges even for international calls and messages to people abroad.
