Be prepared to wait a while for your iPad to connect and pick up your phone’s connection. Like the competition, Messenger for WhatsApp does seem to struggle getting started up. I do find that switching conversations sometimes takes more than one tap on the screen, and occasionally the conversation needs scrolling down to the latest update after I switch, but generally, once you’re up and running, performance is good. On Messenger, there should be no problem keeping up with your usual typing speed, on the touchscreen or a physical keyboard.
As if each key press had to be sent to the internet individually before the next one would be accepted. Typing on other Whatsapp appe was always the biggest deal breaker, as they could be very unresponsive. If you’re not willing to hand over the (slightly steep) £2.99 to remove the ad-banner, then I’m afraid it is rather intrusive - but not a deal breaker. IPad specific instructions have been written and the app itself is free of ‘chrome’ showing only what you’d see on the web version - maximising your iPad’s screen space. On loading it up for the first time, there is immediate evidence that effort has been put in. You still need your phone, it’s doing all the work, but it’s so convenient. It’s great when you have your laptop to hand and want to enjoy the benefits of a proper keyboard when you’re having a longer conversation with someone. This is a solution for accessing your WhatsApp conversations on your computer’s browser. If there was one new feature I was really pleased to see, it was Whatsapp-Web. I love it for its simplicity and certainly don’t want it to end up being the confusing mess that is FaceBook Messenger.
There aren’t many places on the internet that are this private.Īs a mobile solution it’s near flawless and my only concern is that under Facebook’s ownership, there seems to be a creep towards adding more and more features.
This all without advertising (for now) or someone listening in due to the end-to-end encryption technology. You can even go old-school and speak to your contact using audio or video calling. With over a billion users worldwide, you can text, enjoy real time chat and share photos, files and more. So where did everybody go? Well, many went to messaging services.
