I was planning to get WhatsApp for my phone. But, I read a few comments on the internet that were not very favourable. It said something like its always hooked to the network and drains the battery very quickly. I thought it'd be nice if I get a few words from those who actually have experienced it.
I wish I could help, but Im socially clueless......: (
Most of my friends are on Blackberry Messenger or WhatsApp......while Im still using SMS's : (
Im no longer on Facebook.....so Ive lost touch with many people because of this as well.
Which often is a good thing......as social media can be very addictive (unless you have the right intentions before joining, and ensuring that you dont get sucked into the haraam.....).
With regards to battery life, I guess it depends what phone you have and your usage.
I havent heard of any problems specific to whatsapp.
I use Whatsapp on Galaxy Nexus. Galaxy Nexus is believed to have a poor battery response but using Whatsapp doesn't drain bettery life. And almost every messaging app, hooks itself to the network, Talk, Yahoo messenger, whatsapp, nimbuzz, fring...you name it.
I hear they're making a v2 of it, here are the features they have leaked on the net:
* can leave phone at home and still receive messages via new MIND COMM install
* brushes your teeth for you while you sleep
* bakes bread and keeps your toes warm in winter
* does dishes once a day
* does remote synch of adhaan in your locality
* can hack CIA database and let you know if you are being "tracked" - need to upgrade to paid for version
* reads your mind after MIND COMM device has been successfully installed and running for 3 weeks, no need to post in forums, will make posts for you
* takes care of your grandmother's neighbours cat
* doesn't complain
I'm starting to think, do I really need to get married?
Okay, so after working my brains, I finally decided to download it until something else came up. Whats app is not free?! I mean its available for free on the internet but does it charge for the messages? Any website I went to says that its free for the first year, what does that mean?
sister it's free for the first year, after that they say $0.99/yr. there's probably some way around it also. There are also chat apps out there, like kik, that are free.
Allah made everyone different thats what makes them special,so no matter what ppl say just remember you're SPECIAL!! "You are with the one you love"

i've got to say, you have to get whatsapp. once you do you'll realise mostly everyone on your contacts list has it, you'll become much more closer to them. as for me ive had literally no problems with it whatsoever,except it used to freeze on my old htc wildfire. but now i have a galaxy s3 and its amazing. android user free first year then 65p a year after that. i phone is one off 69p
I use whatsapp, pretty cool app.
Free sending of texts, images, and videos. You have block feature as well to avoid unnecessary contacts.
Free for the first year, after that it charges you $0.99/yr. Also charges you the network cost for using the internet, if you're not on wifi.
The battery problem is with most Samsung Android phones. The battery sucks, but you can't blame it. They've stuffed so much awesomeness in their little phones that it even overwhelms the batteries.
If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.
Surah Ale Imran : 160
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) climbed up Uhud, accompanied by Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan, and the mountain shook with them. He struck it with his foot and said: “Stand firm, O Uhud, for there is no one on you but a Prophet or a Siddeeq or two martyrs.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3483)
Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Taala) does not inspire seeking forgiveness in a slave whom he wishes to punish.
