There is a very good criticism here: http://andregarzia.com/posts/en/whatsappdoesntunderstandthew... and I have to agree to all of it.

#102Can anybody explain how this is supposed to work in combination with the end-to-end encryption that's allegedly implemented in the Android client? I can see all my Android to Android conversations in the Web client.
Re: Whatsapp Web
#103Unfortunately it is not a desktop client and you have to open the browser all the time to open it.
Use this to get a desktop client on mac

Re: Whatsapp Web
#107To make the 'Whatasapp web' option show on the latest Android version on my phone I had to do this: 1. Back up your data (Whatsapp Menu > Settings > Chat Settings > Backup conversations) 2. Go to 'App Info' for Whatsapp had to 'Clear data' (Settings > Applications > Applications Manager > Whatsapp) 3. Restart phone 4. Access whatsapp -> enter your phone number -> restore from backup 5. The 'Whatsapp Web' should appea…

Re: Whatsapp Web
#108I have been using whatsapp-purple---a WhatsApp protocol implementation of libpurple [1] for some time now and it works really well.
That being said, accessing it from within a browser window has it's advantage. I currently have to install whatsapp-purple on all machines I use & syncronising chatlogs via Dropbox has it's challenges...
Re: Whatsapp Web
#109A lot of negativity, but despite its limitations I already love it. (OK love's too much, but it's a big improvement for me at least.) I don't use whatsapp with a huge number of people, but some of them I talk to daily on it. When we're both behind a computer (work hours, sometimes outside them) we'll often move to Skype to be able to type quicker. Skype's pretty horrible on phones (for me and most people I know), so…
While I agree with all your points it's still the shittiest implementation that I have seen. I have been using Telegram Web, and it works delightfully without having to connect my phone to the web. Line has it's own desktop program since at least a year. I have no idea why they decided to go this route, none whatsoever. It looks more like a hack than an official solution. I've been following Whatsapp since 2010, and…
This is a very similar implementation with how Blackberry Blend is implemented. Although, the core value was for security. It's definitely hard to understand what was the motivation for WhatsApp to go this route or what their future plans are.

> not needing to keep grabbing my phone to see what's been said, is a great change for me. One that I was complaining about just the other day without realising this was around the corner. Just try, with some friends, to switch to Telegram for a day or two. It is like Whatsapp but has open source clients for most platforms that always sync between them. I have the Windows and Android clients open most of the time and…
I'll try it out (installing app on phone now), but can't see it coming close to replacing either Skype or WhatsApp. Skype because in many of my circles is the de facto for business communication, WhatsApp because it's so simple (no need to add new contacts - they're already there!) On the subject of telegram's "dedicated to security from the start" - I'm sure I remember (though could be either wrong or outdated) that…
