Im sure it'll be updated sooner or later. They've been rolling out updates pretty fast now that telegram is taking buisness away.
Whatsapp has always been extremely slow to add simple features even when they weren't the must have app.
Like "Read" messages was only add 2 years ago
What's disastrous about it?
It's slow, clunky, doesn't scroll well, doesn't mirror the phone app completely.
Only works through the browser vs a separate native app.
Every once in a while you have to scan a barcode to login from the desktop.
Now may I ask, what does it do well?
What features did they innovate that wasn't in AIM '98?
The only great thing about whatsapp (and it is a major factor) is that whatsapp has by far the biggest network.
