     - Seriously, LYP((Line Yahoo! Japan PayPay)) or whoever you are, please explain to me why LINE in Japan has like 9 billion ads even if you pay for LYP Premium?
     - Using LINE outside of Japan is kind of great because it has no ads.
+      - BUT, if you do this, you can't buy LYP Premium which is actually pretty good, because it gives you fancy features like cloud backups that are easy to use and original quality photos.
   - iMessage: Only secure if all of your friends have Advanced Data Protection enabled, which they don't((If disabled, your contacts are leaking your chats to the server.)). Screws up contact photos and contact data more often than not. Frequently sends messages from the wrong source. Routine cause of confusion. Sluggish.
   - WeChat: hands-down best automatic translation feature ever. Only app that makes communicating in foreign languages easy. Impossible to use with anyone outside of China who doesn't have Chinese friends, due to requiring existing users to invite new users. Risk of account bans for foreigners who invite problematic users.
