      Whatsapp is the worst app period.
      It’s a daily usage app for me on my phone as well and it keeps lagging, lacks functions and sometimes doesn’t work all together

      Don’t presume to know what absolute dogshit I have installed on my pc thank you very much

      Sounds like most other web wrapper apps.

      If a chat app doesn’t require 1.2GB of RAM to work, you’d be looked at funny and told your app belongs back in 2004. We can’t have efficiency.

      How? I have it running right now doing nothing, and it uses 195 MB.

      EDIT: Oh, I see. On startup it uses around 600 MB, but if you leave it really doing nothing, it will go down to 200 MB in system tray.

      I don’t have it installed on Windows 11 and I don’t think it installs by default either.

      Did you inspect Team?

      I’m not here to take a dump on Microsoft- it is the de-facto app at my workplace, and it’s widely adopted where I work, and it gets the job done.

      Why does it need so much RAM though? How can a simple chat take 1-2GB at all times? If in a video call, I get it, but the other 90% of the time, can’t it release resources?

      I stopped using the Windows version last year or whenever it was that they started rolling out this new web wrapper version knowing it would be a shit show.

      The wrappers on Linux are even worse. Zapzap, the WhatsApp client I use (which is just a Chrome wrapper) can easily exceed 6GB of ram usage. It’s absurd.

      I installed WhatsApp on my PC for a brief time and it had the bizarre effect of hijacking all pdf files and insisting it was the default app to open them. I went in the settings and made sure Edge was selected as the default multiple times and it would just revert itself and demand to open pdfs , even though it couldn’t. Bizarre

      # it is so unfortunate that majority bulk individuals stuck with whatsapp even when there are better alternatives.
      # it is even more unfortunate that the messaging ecosystem still lacks a universally adopted, open-protocol standard, analogous to those for email, but designed tuned for asynchronous and synchronous communication which would enable interoperability across fragmented messaging platforms and eliminate vendor lock-in.

      On macOS it was the only app Activity Monitor told me was “Preventing Sleep”

      Insane to me how MSN was running fine on my old ass computer but MarkMetaBerg can’t seem to get an efficient chat client out there.
