I’m extremely angry about Sam Altman fucking over the RAM market.
Granted, WhatsApp native was not perfect, but it used less than 200MB of RAM and had smoother animations and faster load times. Unfortunately, Meta disbanded the team behind the native client as part of the layoffs and replaced WhatsApp with a WebView2-based solution, which uses seven times more RAM than the older native client.
But if there’s any silver lining in this shit, it may be that software vendors are forced to spend resources making their code more performant. Probably not, but we can hope.

Why would anyone use that trash app?
