Urge to help is fading.

Yes, the chopstick-to-the-grille is plan B.

3 [months] later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?
