Oh! So, whatsapp takes everything from a sender including the previous text. Can't it have as some kind of reference (hash or uuid) since the receiving party already has the original text?
- saurik 8y agoActually, the receiving party might not have the original text, as you might be replying to a message sent before they joined the group.
- mkagenius 8y ago> the receiving party might not have the original text Sadly, that's why I wouldn't build such a feature (or whatsapp) and remain poor whole of my life.
- saurik 8y agoLOL ;P. It just occurred to me there is another even simpler case: the other user also might have cleared their message history since the message was sent. FWIW, I entirely believe you would have discovered these corner cases early in the testing process (were you to have gone ahead and started to build WhatsApp ;P).
