Completely unsupported by the image.

Those are all cloud services you don't need.

WhatsApp doesn't work if you don't log in; just the same as Facetime or 
iMessage.

Google Drive doesn't work if you don't log in; just like iCloud Drive.

Completely unsupported by the image AND also, to my personal knowledge, 
completely false.
