💩 Meta just killed native WhatsApp on Windows 11, now it opens WebView, uses 1GB RAM all the time

「 My understanding is that the recent layoffs at Mark Zuckerberg-headed Meta likely disbanded the entire team behind the native WhatsApp. I don’t see any other reason why Meta would abandon its native app for Windows. Meta will save costs by maintaining the web app codebase on Windows, but you’re going to hate the experience 」

Windows 11 has just got a 'major' upgrade, and you're probably going to hate it because it uses 1-2GB RAM all the time.

@jbz what did you expect, it's too easy for them not to care, why wouldn't they do it?
