I'm really happy that this is not relevant to me.

... because I don't use Windows. I wish it was also because I managed to get rid of WhatsApp from my life.

Jup, impossible for me if I want to keep in contact with 90% of my friends.

I’m just thinking now that the Mac is next.

I thought that as much as these companies preach about LLMs doing their coding, the cost of development would go down, no? So why does it need to reduce everything to a single code base to make it easier for developers?

Facebook also developed react native so I don’t know what their excuse is.

The whole point of webapps was not to have os specific ones. somehow smartphones caused everything to move backwards.

I've literally only ever used the web version on windows. It works fine, so what's the problem? what functionality is being lost?

More ram usage? oh no! I couldn't possibly have free Ram left!

It's a shame. The app worked well, and it was nice to have a native look rather than a generic web one.

I never installed their app on Windows. I figured it could just randomly watch what I was doing, log keystrokes, view websites and history etc. I don't know if I'm misunderstanding how much Windows apps can spy on each other - they don't seem to ask for permissions etc.

Does anyone have any idea why, I thought it was also quite liked by the community, no need to open up the extreamly slow web browser just to post one image or pdf

Waiter! waiter! more webslop please!

What's so funny is that they were going to allow encrypted (they say) calls on the web app but then suddenly released a native windows client and told everyone if you wanted calls you need to use it, then removed all buttons for calls or video calls.

I guess they're coming back on that.

React native isn't the same as native
