I don`t know over there but here in Brazil you can get multi sim contract with carriers which will give you extra sims on the same account. I think the extra sims have only data access so they are good for tablets and modems but I don`t kno

author here. I didn't knew about WeChat since it is not popular here in Brazil. Using a QR to facilitate login is not a bad decision. Having this as the only method to authenticate makes it a bad client because it can't work as a

You can build bots for Whatsapp. There used to be lots of libraries and samples on github before the DCMA takedown. There were libraries in C/C++, PHP, JS and Python. Here in Brazil we do have Whatsapp and SMS spam. Whatsapp spam is ra

There are phones here supporting two, three and even four SIM cards. People will do crazy stunts with multiple accounts for everything. Also there are whatsapp bots, they are just not available on github anymore due to DMCA takedowns. You c

Because they are claiming that they released a "web client" that doesn't actually work on the web but only on a single browser and is not independent (it requires a mobile app running on a phone connected to the internet). Pe

Thanks for the feedback. The gifs are the way I use to express my sentiments without reverting to cursing in all languages I know. I am aware that they are not every ones cup of tea but I liked them. I will consider not abusing gifs in the

Maybe their app is taping on some Cordova API that is not available for the web. The only platform exposing similar APIs for hosted pages is Firefox OS and even so it doesn't expose sensitive APIs to hosted apps. There is another issue
