Joyned: The WhatsApp Alternative
Relying on WhatsApp for Internal Communication? It’s Time to Rethink
WhatsApp is familiar, fast, and everywhere. But when it comes to workplace communication, convenience alone isn’t enough.
WhatsApp's simply not built for business. No audit trails, no admin controls, and no way to separate work from personal life. And when compliance, data security, and staff wellbeing matter, those are risks you can't afford to ignore.
Joyned is the secure, professional alternative to WhatsApp - built to help UK teams stay aligned, accountable, and in control.
Why is WhatsApp a risk for organisations?
47% of UK SMEs use WhatsApp as their primary business internal communication platform, despite the significant data privacy and security risks.
However, WhatsApp was never intended for use as an internal workplace communication solution. And its short-term conveniences can come at a cost.
❌ No admin control
There's no unified way to see who’s in what group, or remove access when someone leaves.
❌ No data safeguards or compliance trail
Messages sit on personal devices, outside your policies. No audit logs, message retention, or oversight.
❌ No work/life balance
Weekend notifications and missed messages. And no way to separate work comms from personal texts.
❌ No privacy
Members of WhatsApp groups can see each other's phone numbers.
If you’ve stuck with WhatsApp because switching feels like a hassle, you’re not alone. But the short-term convenience might be costing your team productivity, compliance - and peace of mind.
Joyned is the safe alternative to WhatsApp. It’s quick to deploy, easy to adopt, and built to make internal communication secure, structured, and scalable.
