Technically, unironically, its latest desktop version for Windows is better than expected. It's no longer based on Electron or whatever, consumes less resources than before and works adequately.

That said, I still don't like it.

WhatsApp is usually 2 years behind Telegram for all cool and interesting features.

It has become better, though.

  • Multi-device (without your primary device needing an internet connection)
  • Deleting messages
  • Editing messages
  • Reactions
  • Larger file uploads…

It has at least one advantage relative to ie6.exe - it's cross platform.

Best messaging app is the one that has most users and is free to use. Sadly the truth is so simple, that's why everyone in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America use WhatsApp.

Asia

Not in East Asia. Japan is all about LINE, South Korea uses KakaoTalk, and China uses WeChat.

I have WhatsApp and Viber. 95% of people use WhatsApp, even though I prefer Viber. I do not really have anything against it, even if FB owns it. And I do not have a FB account.

WhatsApp is like hemorrhoids, you can try to ignore it but it's getting your attention eventually no matter how hard you try.
