10 days without WhatsApp for Windows Phone 8
Users of the Windows Phone platform are chirping. And it is not for less considering that it is already ten days since WhatsApp mysteriously disappeared from the Windows Phone application store Store A fact that WhatsApp, as a company, has not yet reported officially official , being responsible for this platform and Microsoft who have shed some light on what happened.However, in the meantime, those affected continue to miss the messaging application most used and expanded to be in direct contact with their family and friends.
The problems began with the update of the operating system Windows Phone 8 and its Update 3 Something that should come to improve the features of the mobiles that move this platform but that ended up taking away the notifications of WhatsApp, forcing its withdrawal from Windows Phone Store And, some kind of technical failure causes evil operation of the messaging application. Far from what was initially suggested by the arrival of Windows Phone 8.1, where WhatsAppcontinues to work without any problems.
The issue lies in the lack of information during the first days of what happened. And it is that before the fright of the users who had acquired a new terminal with Windows Phone 8 or those who reinstalled the application to try to fix the malfunction, no one said anything. Being those who decided to tolerate the failures (not uninstall WhatsApp) the only ones who can now, even with difficulties, use the application. Something that is not surprising coming from WhatsApp, which they usually report after the fact and if it is really unavoidable. Luckily, Windows Phone manager Joe Belfiore reported that the issue was related to the notification core Windows Phone 8 Update 3 and were already working with WhatsApp to bring the app back to the Windows Phone Store as soon as possible possible.
Something that happened a few days ago, without any news from users. Meanwhile, from WhatsApp they only inform the complaints of users who have contacted the company to report the error , clarifying by email that the withdrawal was for technical reasons, that they are working on a solution and that more information will come soon At the moment it is already ten days without an arrival date or information for users who keep asking for the return of the application through social networks and forums.
Given the complaints and the lack of information and, to make matters worse, the service of the messaging application has once again suffered a drop in service recently Thus, users of all platforms discovered during 20 and 21 hours last Sunday that their messages were not sentA crash that barely lasted an hour and seems to show weaknesses in the service given the events that have occurred.
At the moment it is unknown what degree or percentage of solution they have achieved for the platform Windows Phone 8, being impossible to predict a concrete return date of the application. It is to be hoped that, after this period without WhatsApp, the application will arrive with at least some of the promised functions that had already been filtering in test versions Issues such as increased customization of the chat screens, the ability to send videos and, who knows, perhaps also the expected internet calls Meanwhile, millions of users are still waiting for get back in touch with friends and family.A platform that not only has to suffer with late updates and well differentiated functions compared to Android and iOS, but now they can't even use the application during what It's already ten days
