![]() ![]() The controversy over the WhatsApp privacy policy, which many understood to mean WhatsApp would start sharing more information with Facebook - with rumors that the contents of messages may also be accessible. The same Facebook that's almost constantly in the news for some major controversy or another. However recent developments have started hammering home WhatsApp's relationship to parent company Facebook. Particularly for cross-platform communication, where you can't just rely on iMessage of Google Messages. It's an important tool for businesses and personal communication, with its brand recognition and popularity making it the go-to option for a lot of people. WhatsApp is almost ubiquitous in many regions of the world. The opportunities for communication are endless, you just need to find the right option for you. If you want to ditch WhatsApp, but are still hooked into the Facebook ecosystem, you can even use Facebook Messenger. Whether you opt for something a little less high profile, like Wickr Me, or something with an actual price tag attached like the $10 a month Silent Phone. Particularly of note are the best encrypted messaging apps, which offer many of the same features. ![]() While the options above are some of the best alternatives to WhatsApp, there are still other options available to you. It's $6 a month.ĭownload Viber: Android | iOS Other options are available Viber is free to use, though you can subscribe to 'Viber Out', a service that lets you make unlimited international calls to phones that don't have Viber installed. ![]() Like other services on this list it's also end-to-end encrypted, but features unique features including AR-powered selfie lenses (in partnership with Snapchat), group video calls, and a 'Communities' features that is basically a social network that lets people across the world discuss specific topics of interest. Owned by Japanese e-retailer Rakuten, Viber is a service that started life as a VoIP app and gradually grew to include things like text messaging, voice calls, group messaging, fully synced desktop and mobile apps, and more. iPhone users can get Duo from the Apple App Store.ĭownload Google Duo: Android, iOS Threema The good news is that Duo is likely already installed on your Android phone, and if it’s not it’s free to download from Google Play. That’s right: Just as iMessage and FaceTime are still separate for some reason, so are Messages and Duo, although the latter's app isn't restricted to Android devices. What Messages doesn’t have is video and voice calling, since that’s all handled by Google Duo. The obvious downside is that it only works for phones that support RCS, anything that doesn't (iPhones included) have to resort to the old insecure methods. Which is not ideal if you're rocking an iPhone.Įnd-to-end encryption is automatic when you’re messaging anyone else with Google Messages and you can send all your usual images and files as you would with something like WhatsApp. Instead you link an Android device to a web browser tab, much like WhatsApp's Linked Devices feature. It's possible to use the service on Windows and Apple devices, but not as a standalone app. If you can't find it, you can download Google Messages from Google Play.ĭesigned to replace your existing SMS app and integrated with all Google’s services, Google Messages is essentially iMessage, but for Android. Google Messages is Google’s answer to iMessage, and it's usually available on modern Android phones right out of the box. At least it’s already installed on all iPhones and most Macs. Why iMessage and FaceTime haven’t been blended into one single communications app isn’t clear, but that’s the way it is. Video and voice calling is not included in iMessage, and you’ll have to do that in the FaceTime app instead - and FaceTime works only with Apple devices. In some countries iMessage users can even send each other money using Apple Pay. IMessage is just as fully-featured as other popular messaging apps, with support for images, GIFs, video and group calls. So your messages stay safe (unless someone can read your iCloud backups). Still Apple has a proven track record of not bending to demands by governments that it add backdoors to its encryption. So your Apple-based messages are secure, but everything else isn't. IMessage will let you send messages to all phone numbers, whether they use iMessage or not, but texting to Android devices relies on old-fashioned SMS thanks to Apple's refusal to support RCS. If you’re an iPhone or Mac user, then the simplest option is sometimes the best, and iMessage is the ideal alternative to WhatsApp. Provided you're communicating with fellow iPhone users, that is. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() My T Rowe mutual fund is long standing and I’m familiar with the 1099 and Box 7 – Foreign Tax Paid (credit) which is common to international mutual funds. I’m a retiree with a basic return showing Social Security, pension and my T Rowe International Fund dividends using the standard deduction and single filing status. I purchased Turbotax “Premier” version for $74.89 to access the import feature per my T Rowe Price International Fund 1099, pension, etc. I nonetheless assign three stars rather than one to TurboTax 2021 because I expect it will be as useful as previous versions for calculating the PAST year's taxes. So why does Intuit bother to distribute it's program in this woeful state? Why not wait until the results are at least within shouting distance of being accurate? It is not remotely close to being accurate. And what the program spits out to you as your tax liability is worthless. I say "less than" because it is rather cumbersome and time-consuming to enter your best estimates of expected income, by income source, into the program. Sadly, for users who wish to send tax withholding instructions to their employers and/or brokerages, TurboTax 2021 is less than helpful. Using last year's (2020) TurboTax would be more useful. In short, the current version of TurboTax 2021 (as of ) is essentially worthless for calculating 2021 estimated federal and state taxes. This produces a wild overstatement of taxes due, regardless of what Congress decides to do to change the 2021 tax law. ![]() No questions are posed by TurboTax asking whether these were "short-term" or "long-term" (it makes a big difference!) Weirdly, 100% of the distributions are currently treated by TurboTax 2021 as though they're short-term distributions. I recorded a sizeable amount of "capital gains distributions" from my mutual fund accounts. On all the relevant forms, this is shown (and used) as a bit more that $7,700. In the structured questionnaire, I reported a bit more than $3,800 in interest income. Let me give an embarrassing example, embarrassing at least to TurboTax's programmers. It's calculations are wildly off, even bearing in mind that there are not final versions of some the crucial tax forms. Sadly, TurboTax 2021 seems to be worthless for this purpose. But, guys, it's certainly feasible to use the rules in effect for 2020 to make a plausible guess about the 2021 income tax schedule, including relevant capital gains tax rates: The tax year is 92% completed! How many basic tax rules can Congress really change?! It is now early December 2021, and I understand that Congress has yet to finalize the details of tax calculations for 2021. As a long-time user of TurboTax, primarily for calculating LAST year's federal and state taxes, I have become interested in the program's capacity to predict the CURRENT year's taxes (that is, at this moment, 2021 taxes). ![]() ![]() ![]() The employer must report this change no later than five business days after the student leaves employment.
