#3So you can track someones online log times using WhatsApp last seen feature? Thats the most shocking thing I have heard all year especially considering this whole thing is as stale as the cheese on the burger in your local dive bar. This should have been written early last year, I think a lot of folks have learned the blue ticks and the online status aspects of whatsapp

#7What I don't like about WhatsApp is that even if you hide your last connection time, everybody gets to see whether you're online.

Do you really check Tinder for new "content" every two minutes?
