I’d argue Facebook messenger is the IE of messaging apps. It’s worse than WhatsApp in possibly every way, and it’s the main form of communication in my country.
in my country too. and whats irritating is that most businesses and government services use it too . instead of, you know, improving their websites?
pulls the mask off both apps
Facebook again!
Really?
That sucks for sure, gladly everyone here doesn't use it at all, I think I have only talked through there to business supports and stuff like that.
Why it's worse?
From top of my head:
The link preview thing whatsapp use this weird way of handling it. The preview has to be loaded on the sender end first, then the receiver will get it. If the link was sent before preview was loaded, then the receiver just getting plain ol blue text.
On any other messenger, imessage, discord, etc. the clients try to load the preview on the receiver end. Simpler and work so much better.
Thanks for response
