Plain creepy. Also, does it produce a lot of traffic?

  Oh ffs, they're just fetching it to render a preview. Have you ever used WhatsApp? Someone down at HQ is laughing their asses off right now.

    Preview sure, but why every character?
    • gghhvgx 9y ago
      Because the preview is displayed as you type, not when you hit Send

        But still... why every character? Wait a couple hundred ms after each keystroke to see if they are done.

          Because instant > wait a couple hundred ms simple really

          Because mobile internet is slow and that'd be the difference between 300ms and 600ms.

  This is a stupid and crappy implementation of a helpful feature, but how is it creepy?
