@rrhoover i don't see iPhone here. Wait is this an official WhatsApp client? Android users how is it?
It's a pretty neat way to solve the problem of having a web account with a phone# tethered messaging app despite the dodo-ness of QR codes
I can't belive that a company like WhatsApp can't build a better web app. iOS isn't compatible because of Apple's limitations? Look at Telegram. With an API (that I'm sure that they have) create a web app for ALL browsers and without depending on the mobile app.
After looking a little deeper this is the worst implementation they could have come up with. 1. Your phone must be online. 2. Clumsy QR code auth. 3. No iOS support. 4. Not a native client but Chrome-only. Honestly, what were they thinking?
I don't understand, why WhatsApp is actively waging war against third-party developers and their users.
Following limitations are ridiculous in 2015:
1. It only works on a single browser - Google Chrome
2. It requires the current WhatsApp client for Android (What about iPhone) - It's a second screen application :(
3. It doesn't work if your phone is not connected to the internet - Wat?
WhatsApp thinks this is "smart"...but in reality it is painful. And for me it doesn't make ANY sense why they didn't add iOS. "Apple regularities and restrictions" bla bla bla. There are million ways of authorizing other than "super-cool" qr-codes.
Hi,
The instant connection of WhatsApp and WhatsApp web is amazing. It makes my business more reliable and easy. I found little more details at https://thejournalpost.com/techn...
Not having desktop access to WhatsApp is the primary reason I haven't pursued it more. None of my friends being on it is the second reason, blugh. I really want more people on WhatsApp.
It seems this is pretty painful because of the way WhatsApp has been built (for both technical and security reasons): https://news.ycombinator.com/ite...
