All these (ad)ons always take priority over performance.
Developing countries should get their act together and stop using WhatsApp.
By “developing countries”, do you mean “most of the world outside the US”? Because WhatsApp is used extensively in Europe as well. Which means you’re either ignorant, condescending, or both.
I meant countries like India, Brazil etc. They heavily use WhatsApp mostly because people are illiterate and poor. People use WhatsApp in Europe but not as much when compared to India.
I don’t think the majority of the populace…anywhere makes app decisions based on morality. WhatsApp is basically nonexistent in USA and Canada (and while Facebook and Instagram are present they are far from omnipresent) but I don’t think it has anything to do with people making informed decisions about the moral issues with tech companies.
Are you saying there’s a relation between the use of Whatsapp and education or economic levels of a country? What are you on about?
In 2022, 75% of UK Internet users and 80% of Hong Kong internet users used WhatsApp (just do a search for “WhatsApp usage in Hong kong/uk”). Would you call these global financial hubs poor and illiterate countries?
I hate Facebook as much as the average lemmy user (lemming?), but let’s not pretend that everyone makes decisions based on the company’s reputation.
To be honest the things that matter on optimalization now on mobile are app size, what push notifications providers it supports and the speed itself is only a little concern.
But it matters in compatibility situations, like running mobile apps on desktops or on other OSes.
Awesome, maybe then I can get everyone I know to switch to a better platform.
pls whatsapp stop copying from fucking telegram there should be a law to make it not possible this is killing competition
But ‘Stories’ are from IG, owned by Meta… so… we rather stay quiet on this occasion xdd
But I can use them just fine? Some customization options like expiration time are behind premium but it’s available for everyone.
I think it was premium only for a short while before version 10
Good. Keep cluttering the app until people move to simpler alternatives. Preferably libre.
