What if Whatsapp Never returns

[bionicgt]

If it doesn't come back then you know the big A check they got from google cleared the bank.

I can imagine, I hate GOOGLE... The Evil !

No problem. Many of my contacts are on Skype.

People are so selfish here I see... they're like , i don't have Whatsapp, I don't seven use it I have skype... LOL
there's what? a billion Whatsapp users in the world... people still think it's not even needed... they're on weed now I guess hahaha

Well, I can't speak for the WhatsApp vs Skype comment, but WhatsApp is pretty awful for alot of people. Frankly, there are just as good, and even better, IM options these days. I don't think its selfish to say, just try something else.

(Alot of people just assume WhatsApp Delivery is accurate. I have personally found their push delivery to be terrible, via testing on a friends phone. For no reason whatsoever messages won't push. I can't tell you how many times I've opened WhatsApp and had suddenly messages come through, like Push was off and it wasn't. My data wasn't weak or anything. If you google WhatsApp reliability, you'll see its a cross platform issue.)

Like WP, I guess I am in the minority and never used it.....

Whatsapp is the standard in Switzerland. Everybody uses it, alternatives are sometimes used, but not as consistent as Whatsapp.

When Whatsapp doesn't come back, I'll buy another phone.



I agree. But here it's not only friends. It's just everybody. I could convince my friends to use an alternative, I can't convince my entire address book.

Then, sell it to me, everybody here who wants to sell his phone if WhatsApp never comeback, sell it to me!

Come on! There is a lot, A LOT of alternative to that app! I don't gonna throw away my precious Lumia 925 for an app!

What exactly should I sell to you? That comment makes no sense.

You have to do whatever meets your needs. If you don't need or use Whatsapp, that's splendid. Good for you. Nonetheless, I need it. I need it that much that it's a reason to change to another platform should it not be available anymore.

Even if this wouldn't be a rational decision - I have explained why I need it, it's the standard here, everybody uses it - it would still be my own decision to make. And believe me, if it would never return, Windows Phone would it have even much, much worse than now in the Swiss market.

It's strange anyway that I have to defend my opinion in a thread that asks for an opinion. Don't you think?

Anyway, I highly doubt that they won't bring it back. There's even a Blackberry version after all.

WhatsApp is just non-negotiable for me at this point. Everybody uses it here in Germany, and all of my friends in America do, too. It's like not having Skype, Facebook, or a maps program.

Over the years I've seen so many chat clients popping up and disappearing.
Who remembers ICQ, AOL, MSN, MIRC, BBM etc? Who thinks that WhatsApp is here to stay is mistaken. In a few years there will be something new and WhatsApp will be one of the apps that has become a vague memory.

In a few years Apple might be gone. Google might buy Microsoft. Civilization might be destroyed by a third world war. What should I care right now about that?

Hmm i think they just dont care about Windows Phone. Or else they would already have sorted things out, months ago.

If Whatsapp doesn't come back WP will crash and burn to irrelevance, literally if I recommended Wp to anyone and they saw there wasn't Whatsapp, they would laugh at me.

True, Whatsapp is a very important app, too bad they leave us with so little information about what's going on and such. I hope they come back soon though!

 

[bionicgt]

They don't care about WP , that's all
