Oh it’s doing plenty. Just not for you.
What Windows 11 pc exactly? 😎
Not too sure about the ‘doing nothing’ part.
True.
Ew. Why not use the browser version
There is no other version. An electron app is a browser app.
I’m shocked to learn that a dedicated browser always running in the background for a chat app uses 100x the memory and resources
Anything owned by facebook is already the worst app on whatever device it’s installed on.
A great alternative is to create a Matrix account and connect a WhatsApp bridge bot with the WhatsApp account, that way you can use any lightweight Matrix client. (It also works cross-platform)
My Windows 11 PC? Where?
My Linux PC doesn’t have WhatsApp installed. Someone tell me where this Windows 11 PC is so I can retrieve it and install Linux on that too.
The app is always lagging behind the web version too, it’s just not worthy it.
What do you mean, the app is the web version now
Sorry, it was a while ago since I used the app version from the Store.
If that’s the case, why not just use webview, instead of packing a whole separate browser?
Obviously not aiming that at you op, but if someone has an insight on this, I’m curious.
microsoft committments to ui frameworks can be gotten in bulk, for free at your nearest flea market
People using Meta’s products are masochists.
“Yes, daddy, please violate my privacy even more and manipulate me into hating myself and making me addicted to your shit.”
My government and employers would not move away from WhatsApp, so, short of lobbying, I am forced to remain.
Well most people dont have any other option since 100% of your friends and families are exclusively on WhatsApp , whatsapp had early mover advantage it was free and easy to use so now everyone just uses it
so did my-space
And how long did it stay around even though there was a better option? And how much more penetration into everyday life does WhatsApp have today? Right.
Social media and chat applications are different, better comparison would be Skype or MSN Messenger or AIM.
If your friends can not be arsed to install an app on their phone for you, I got some bad news.
Actually it’s not just friends ( we did shifted to telegram a while back ) most people where I am from use WhatsApp grand parents to grand parents to even some college official group ( yeah Ik )
Wouldn’t Windows 11 be the worst app on your Windows 11 PC? 🤔
It’s probably just teams, right?
bitlocker and the encrypt without permission resulting in loss of all files still takes the cake for me
windows update boot loop is a close second
It’s all sharepoint under the hood.
Only for some file storage. The Teams app is a memory hog and hot garbage all on its own.
I was joking for sure. Most of M365 is a hodgepodge of Exchange and Sharepoint, including Teams. But that’s all server side, so doesn’t matter to the client. They could make a the clients not terrible even if the server is hot garbage.
I once read a story about a Teams team in microslop Teams, was hilarious.
Technically… Yes.
Counterpoint: no, it’s not, because I’m not stupid enough to install it.
Born in the PWA it was.
(I figure this limits what it can scrape from any OS.)
Or own a Windows PC!
Sadly, I have one that I need for some freelance work. But I don’t use it too much.
Oh, it’s most likely doing something. Just nothing you would want.
This person fundamentally misunderstands RAM on Windows…
Apps reserve a portion of the total available memory. That memory is not necessarily in use. Memory not in use will still be available to other applications as soon as the system reallocates it when a given application needs more. Usually of you have more RAM, applications will reserve more of it. You can check a better explanation of your current memory usage in the windows resource monitor. You’ll see memory allocated, memory in use, and memory being used to cache data (which windows does to reduce disk reads and writes), as well as memory completely unallocated. Chrome can easily allocate 1/3 of your total available memory by the third tab, but that doesn’t mean chrome is actually using that much.
I mean it’s an electron app. Maybe the number is inflated, but it’s still a ton. The previous number he compared to (100mb) would be equally inflated, so it’s fair
