Got another update for Whatsapp today, seems to have fixed the long load time on previous update. Also appears to have fixed app crash when changing display picture. Not sure of any other changes though
- 02-23-2013, 09:12 AM #2I've heard the large tile now shows the message. But I can't confirm, as nobody writes me messages at the moment ;)

Also you can now view larger profile picture of contacts AND on tapping make it nearly full screen. Sweet!

Yes, the large tile now shows the last message received - 02-23-2013, 09:47 AM #5+1 definitely look VERY native. Glad to see them at least taking UI seriously, if not functionality at core! Originally Posted by bernatns I close threads to save cats.

Taking photos now does not crash the app. Previously 2.9.2, crashes after taking a photo to attach to the chat.

didn't expect them to get this update out so quickly though.
- 02-23-2013, 10:11 AM #8They 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! Originally Posted by afgzee I close threads to save cats.

The app is even faster now... Looks like they start to take WP serious

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
- 02-23-2013, 10:55 AM #11Haha! They never act fast on user complaints. If that was the case they would have left our audio API alone! Originally Posted by J Hisham I close threads to save cats.

I think they want to reach more users just via one app rather than make two apps. Originally Posted by J Hisham I close threads to save cats.

where does the update come from i updated to 2.9.2 last night and i actually prefer the old one, slow load times and i;m not convinced it is hugging my battery a bit more...

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. Originally Posted by robert peake

Until they fix this, they can take their app and shove it... I mean seriously...

2.9.2 went fine.
2.9.3 has killed my phone.
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.
