For me, the biggest problem lies in the fact that your messages are local. And phones will always have less capacity than dedicated storage servers. What bothers me the most is when I have to resend a photo or file to a friend of mine on WhatsApp because he changed his phone and didn't want to install the WhatsApp backup from cloud. Or you simply had to delete things to free up space on your phone. Or I've lost something because I didn't want to have my phone's storage full of cat memes or something. The way WhatsApp makes "backups" is totally dysfunctional. Instead of using a database with support for indexes and full-text search, it simply creates a kind of zip file with a proprietary protocol that forces you to download the entire backup again to search for a single file or message. I hate having to use WhatsApp and I try to bring people to Telegram as much as I can. It is as if we have gone back in time and gone back to MSN Messenger, only worse.
