I hope Moxie can share with us why this feature is disabled by default. Does Whatsapp really think the notification would quickly become very annoying for regular users? How often would someone's closest friends really change their phones or uninstall Whatsapp? I imagine not that often for this to be a huge inconvenience, which is why I don't understand why the setting is off by default. Moxie did not make Whatsapp. He made the protcol originally designed for Signal/TextSecure that Whatsapp uses. It's a little extreme to blame him for what is basically a UX/GUI decision on an app that just uses his protocol.
