Whatsapp with whatsapp

[C DM]

I don't get the popularity of WhatsApp. You can only use it from your Phone - not from a PC or other device. I'm looking at a computer screen most of the day. But only look at my phone from time to time.

Seems like something like Skype or even Viber would be even better alternatives in various aspects. In the end it really mainly depends on what the majority of those you want to be in touch with use (for whatever reason).

What the heck is with this new trend of circle-cropping user icons?? It seems several app makers are trying to do this lately; Tweetbot did it and there was a HUGE outcry so they made it an option, and now it looks like WhatsApp is doing it too.

What's wrong with normal SQUARE user icons? Circle-cropped icons look like crap!!

+1 it annoyingly chops off a substantial part of your display picture and it doesn't look good either. Rounded corners are fine but circles is just #

Because iOS 7 does that in its design, so those who try to "fit " that design follow along no matter how much sense it makes or doesn't make.

The large picture thumbnails should be set as an option..I prefer the smaller thumbnails!
