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.

You should try talking to each other every once in a while, it's kinda refreshing...

My biggest issue is the limited search functions and you  can't add people to groups.

Didn't get them working fully. It seems FP on GSM uses VOIP. I guess I need app to get that to work.

RingPlus is the same thing. Why can't you activate the service, and just not use the calling?

(Personally, I love the freedom having your number connected to Google voice instead of attached to a carrier provides.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You will need to assign a working phone number for verification though.

Whatapp recently unveiled A Join link which changes everything .
in the past you had to invite 200 people 1 by 1 ,
now you can submit a link and click it and you'll join.


There's even a group on WhatsApp specifically for Links to other groups.


IMHO it's a disaster .

but you can create groups in a matter of seconds and have Hundreds of people in your group.

I took a peak at telegram and it seems to work a lot faster.

I also enjoyed that there are several style rooms you could have.
