Recently I have been thinking about ditching Whatsapp and moving my family and close friends to another service. This has nothing to do with the Facebook privacy thing (I don't care), but the Win 8 style app is getting on my nerves now
1. No UWP, so no replies from the notification center
2. Still uses the old photo picker, so cannot share OneDrive photos from within the app
3. Doesn't scale well on the 950XL. Even with the latest version, there's always a blank bar at the bottom, taking up screen space. Text is also always bigger than every other app and the OS.
I will continue to use Whatsapp for most of my group chats, but want to move to a different service for most of my IM. The only 2 services I could find which are UWP were
1. Skype- Cannot share location, that's my major complaint. Also, iOS and Android users can't use racially diverse emoji
2. Viber- This actually looks good, however, you can't share location at will. You can tag your location to regular messages, but when I click on the geotag icon on received messages, it shows my location, not the location of the sender. Also, settings are a bit sparse.
What do you guys think? What do you use apart from WhatsApp? I don't really want to use an app which is not UWP (Might as well use Whatsapp, then)
