Genuinely curious to why people use whatsapp if it's such a **** app?

Also calm your farm MR, you are allowed to say sht on TV for many years now, why bleep it?
 
Tweetbot seems to have leaked the updates iOS 7 version of their icon, and someone set up a website so you could "bookmark to homescreen" and see how it fits in.

Now Instagram really stands out as the odd ball.

EDIT : based on how sarcastic the tweets have been by the founders of Tweetbot, something tells me this is not actually the changed logo. From some of their tweets I'm thinking we're getting a HUGE change in the app, and maybe we will finally go away from this very awkward yellow beaked bird robot thing. I hate waiting.

They will give into the pressure. Remember when they tried to change their privacy policy? They crack easy.

Yes I was a little late posting. So what?

Apparently they haven't read the thread and noticed that you are a regular poster, usually first here with the info. Kind of a double negative on their part.

Aren't DropBox and Mailbox the same company? Seems a bit odd that Mailbox is already updated while Dropbox isn't, the latter a much older and more well known.

I think its different developers working on the apps and the Mailbox developers got the iOS 7 update first. Im sure theres a Dropbox App division and a Mailbox App division. Thats just my theory.
 
Maybe someone can try and make a new flatter, cartoonier Instagram icon and post it on a blog? If it goes viral, surely they'll take notice.

I'm not a designer or anything close to it, but i gave it a shot with the grid system.

Edit: I don't know why on the iPhone screenshot it looks like there is a white glow on the border, it shouldn't be there.

Genuinely curious to why people use whatsapp if it's such a **** app?

In my country (The Netherlands), Whatsapp is a standard. People don't text each other, they Whatsapp each other. There is even an officially accepted verb for it: Whatsappen. Even in business people Whatsapp each other. The carriers destroyed SMS years ago with absurd tariffs and Whatsapp was the only alternative in the rise of the app stores, so the switch was very easy and quick for everyone.

So, it's very simple... in many countries where literally everyone uses Whatsapp, you can't just go on and use another app, because you will be very lonely :) I would love for everyone to use something different, but I have over 200 contacts in Whatsapp and convincing them (and their friends) is not done.

Same goes for here at Singapore where the majority use iPhones. Whatsapp is like a must. :cool:

Hopefully it will be part of iPad presentation. Easier to show them off reworked on big screen.

Is GMail not popular there?

Why not use GoolgeTalk/Hangouts?

I don't know anyone that uses Hangouts, especially those who have iDevices. It hasn't really taken off. With my friends I either Whatsapp, Facebook chat, Kik or iMessage (depending on their device). I love Gmail and I use it daily, but I don't really need Google's attempt at a social network.
 
Wallpapers HD just got an update for iOS 7, looks nice, icon hasn't changed though.

Adam.

Yes it is...for email. Not chatting. Whatsapp (and FB Messenger) is the way to go here.
