Their take, that WhatsApp has been ruined, is weird to me as a regular user of WhatsApp who has been using it for what must be a decade at this point. I don’t have a single complaint about it, and I’ve never heard a complaint about it outside of anti-Facebook sentiment in tech circles, and while we can certainly begrudge Facebook’s behaviour in a lot of ways, it seems absurd to suggest that Facebook have somehow ruined the user experience of WhatsApp — it’s one of the most consistent apps I’ve ever used, and continued growth surely demonstrates that.

In the developing world sometimes it is difficult to get a list of products with prices. https://blog.whatsapp.com/introducing-catalogs-for-small-businesses/?lang=en https://blog.whatsapp.com/introducing-catalogs-for-small-bus...
- pronlover723 4y agoWell then, a complaint. It should not require a phone number nor should it require access to my address book.
- airstrike 4y agoIt probably requires a phone number to limit the amount of bots on the platform.
- sreekotay 4y agoInternationally, whatsapp has been a big (or bigger) source of bullying, mobs, and disinformation in group chats - with even less visibility or moderation capacity/capabilities.
