WhatsApp should learn from yahoo's excessive security concerns that later ruined the firm....

It's cooler than WhatsApp as you'll see the other person typing in real time.

I refused to update my WhatsApp when I realized I would need to uninstall some apps to make space. Since then I've been using IMO and Telegram. No shaking.

Well time covers many things...


I remember blackberry saying BBM would no longer work on Android then, even the blackberry users then wen they ask for ur pin and you say "7e016....they will day non BB user stealing BBM" where is BlackBerry and BBM today?


2go too started on a lighter mood until they started feeling pompous by increasing price for go-credit, render ur 2go useless if u don't buy go-credit...where is 2go now?


My advice to WhatsApp is TAKE IT EASY oooo
