>> "Besides, am I the only one who suspects that Whatsapp is boycotting Apple?"

I understand the theory but all this does is hurt them. They need as many people as possible using there app for it be useful. They're also owned by Facebook who update all their apps weekly.




Facebook made the "Brilliant" move to remove the chat functionality from their app. So I am forced to use the mobile site of facebook ...

Why should I have 2 crippled apps than one functional. Also one that has degraded functionality. And until android has fake permissions I won't install messenger.

I feel the opposite. Why should I have 1 slow, bogged down app when I can have two fast, functional ones?

Cyanogenmod has Privacy Guard, which is pretty much that.
