Am gonna have a very long catching up to do with WHATSAPP

matrixme:
If you are still stuck with Whatsapp, you are so old school. The IM app is more like MySpace these days. I decided to try Telegram and guess what? I really felt so bad I've been missing out on the best the Internet has to offer.
There is a channel that shares all the best music, pdf magazines, ebooks, another converts YouTube videos to Mp3, one reminds me of stuffs, another gives me detailed weather info of my location daily, there is one I could take exams, learn English etc. I get to meet several international people where we discuss broad based issues, (groups are 5000 capacity, unlike Whatsapp's paltry 256 or so) the cloud feature is exceptional, whenever you join you can still see previous messages and so much to discover daily. There is never a dull moment with Telegram.
The only disadvantage is that all these takes a lot of data to access but you can choose what to download.
Whatsapp is just a dinosaur without these productive features, forget the popularity. MySpace was popular too BTW.

I do understand that Telegram has all these innovations you are raving about but WhatsApp is still very much relevant in today's world. Some of us are not too obsessed with sharing best music, PDFs n stuff. We love WhatsApp for its sheer simplicity in one on one conversations. I would choose WhatsApp over bbm, telegram n etc any day.

It should work unless you're not using whatsapp for Android or U haven't updated to the version that supports it.

Not working on my Q10

Whatsapp Has A New Feature: I Love It

Whatsapp messenger is known to be bringing many life enriching features to their over One billion users the world over. Today the instant message giant has added a new one which I love to use prior to the update.
It's a feature that makes it possible for you to respond to a particular message in your chat. All you need do is press and hold the particular message and you'll see a reply icon at the topmost part of your phone, use it and bingo you've replied that message. Before this update I normally use that feature but I had to copy and paste the message I wanted to respond to; now it's easier.

Thanks for sharing. I was like you.

donhils:

You've known about it for a month now? On which platform? The update on whatsapp for android just started rolling out.

Yes. It's been available for about that time frame. But just to some select few or those who signed up for the beta program. The apk for the beta program is online I guess. So he isn't lying. It just started rolling out to the general populace.

Telegram has been doing this ever since tho

you are wrong. Its been on BBM for a while, even timed flash messages too.

As long as WhatsApp is yet to offer a feature such as BBM Channels, they still lag behind in my books.

What is this one saying? BBM have had the quote feature for months now. Whatsapp is only trying to meet up but they can't, that's for sure.

bbm has it

Abeg op no vex. I no undastnd d post oo

Baba Buhari is truly working. Change is gradually coming.

What the Op is trying to say is, WhatsApp introduced a "Quote message" feature. This feature enables you to quote a specific post, maybe in the past or present. Instead of using the traditional "@" In a group chat or the likes, You just gotta tap and hold on the post you intend on quoting, you'll see a curved arrow, tap on it and write whatever you wish to write. See image below:

I'm Nigerian just that I don't understand the meaning of Vewi.

RitzyPrince:
any problem with my typing swagger? Why the jibes? I won't be surprised if you're a Nigerian. Does it make sense throwing jibes at someone u don't know nothing about?

Have been using this feature for over a month now..... I'm using version 2.16.95 It's super cool. I can bold, change fonts etc.

is dis feature applicable to black berry fones & aw is it done?
