WhatsApp is the worst. |

|
WhatsApp might be the most popular messaging app on the planet, with |
|
over 1.5 billion (with a `b') users... However, it is slowly smothering |
|
me, humans were just not meant to be tied down to a mobile device with |
|
such levels of constant communication and over information... |
|
|
|
Anyone who has used WhatsApp with the default settings (so practically |
|
everyone) knows that when you send a message, there are two checkmarks |
|
displayed in the UI... The first checkmark means it has been sent to |
|
the server successfully... the second checkmark means that the |
|
receipient's device has received the message... Finally both checkmarks |
|
turn blue when the receipient reads the message. Far too many people |
|
(myself included) have wasted countless hours staring at a message |
|
waiting for those checkmarks to turn blue... Oh, and of course once |
|
those checkmarks turn blue, a near-instant reply is almost obligatory, |
|
right? Ugh. |
|
|
|
Don't even get me started on WhatsApp's user state display... I don't |
|
want you to know if I am online. Go away. :) |
