- notheguyouthink 10y agoI'm always surprised people use WhatsApp at all. It consistently puts messages out of order or doesn't include them all together. Granted, this is mostly me using it from the web ui, but it happens almost once a session. edit: I'm not knocking it specifically, just saying i'm surprised it's so popular - for me it has common issues with basic functionality (above).
