they have expressed through their official twitter account that Apple removed it because a new version is coming... and waiting for approval maybe the current version has a major flaw apple found and just axed it while the new one gets approved

The old one had a flaw which allowed anyone to change anyone's status. It's been extensively covered in Dutch media, but somehow the news didn't cross any borders.

Buy a vowel...

Whatsapp pulled the app themselves because the current version has a security flaw. The update is going thru the standard approval process now.

Why yes, because Apple makes sooo much money on their FREE iMessage program.

It's been a long time since the iOS version had an update. Looking forward to it.

Because iMessage itself brings Apple tons of revenue right?

SECOND UPDATE

I’ve just received an email from WhatsApp: apparently, the reason for the app’s removal has nothing to do with the aforementioned security issue. The company “can’t comment on the issue further,” but wishes to “avoid having incorrect information” circulating online. Take from that what you will.

Cool. I want new features. A 3.0 version perhaps?

seems the story is something else. There are so many useless apps on the app store that people buy them and later they find out that they have been cheated as the apps are not working the same way they are advertised. Why doesnt apple remove those apps?

is it out yet ??

iAd targeted advertising

Calm yourself. There's no advertising in iMessage....

Damn didn't think anyone could be this clueless. Do you even have an iPhone?! Show me a screenshot when you had an iAd popup.

Hopefully it's been pulled pending a major update and hopefully that update could include voip...

Whatsapp is not gonna include VoIP.

Keep dreaming. Whatsapp is trying to replace carrier SMS only.

Keep dreaming. Whatsapp is trying to replace carrier SMS only.

They may be trying to replace carrier SMSES but they are competitors in the market with every other IM application including Viber, Yahoo messenger and Skype.

I don't see why them adding voIP is not considered plausible

two posts, both speculation, both uninformed and both negative ..Droid forums must be quiet.
