Ability to work across mobile devices including tablets
Need to be able to talk even identities exist in different social networks
Need to avoid image and video based spams and forwards

WhatsApp allows groups but mandates that each one’s phone numbers is known to other and an administrator whose ends up doing the laborious task of adding all other parents or teachers.
