I've heard the large tile now shows the message. But I can't confirm, as nobody writes me messages at the moment ;)Quote:

+1 definitely look VERY native. Glad to see them at least taking UI seriously, if not functionality at core!Quote:

didn't expect them to get this update out so quickly though.
They still need to let us send audio/video both new ones and the ones saved on phone, leave the audio API alone and eventually show less battery hogging behaviour! So yes, it's pretty but functionality wise, a lot more work needed!Quote:

Hey, thanks for the heads up. Downloading it right now. Wow, whatsapp sure acts fast on user complaints. Way to go. Hope fixes for the battery hog will come soon
Haha! They never act fast on user complaints. If that was the case they would have left our audio API alone!Quote:

Store ^^
Well update to 2.9.3 now as it fixes the slow load times. As for the battery drain, that's due to their use of the audio API to keep the app running in the background. Nothing can be done about that till they introduce another way.Quote:

Installed and uninstalled three times. Each time I install, my phone starts to lock up. Get black screens, wont respond.
Delete whatsapp and it goes away. Now I cannot use it. Ugh.
