Lambat laun, ia akan tiba jua. Dulu, pengguna ‘berbahagia’ dengan WhatsApp+, pelbagai ciri menarik boleh digunakan seperti theming dan hide online status. Tetapi akhirnya ia dikuburkan oleh WhatsApp setelah menerima amaran ‘cease and desist’.
Terkini WhatsMapp pula menerima nasib yang sama. Selamat tinggal WhatsMapp. Melalui pautan ke post Google+ beliau, katanya:
We have received a Cease and desist letter against WhatsMapp from WhatsApp.
WhatsApp have blocked us out to use Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp and have let us known that if we keep developing and distributing WhatsMapp, it can be really bad for us.
We really don’t want to say this but yes, this is where WhatsMapp comes to an end
We know it is really hard to believe but we are forced to do so and we hope you all understand how risky this can be. I would disclose more information about it but I am not allowed to disclose more than this.
Nampaknya Mark kurang bijak dalam hal ini. Beliau tidak mengambil pendekatan Google atau Apple yang mengambil penggodam/pembangun bekerja dengan mereka, sebaliknya Mark ‘menghalau’ mereka yang berbakat ini.
Kali ini pengguna sekali lagi terpaksa menggunakan klien asli dari WhatsApp, yang sememangnya kurang ciri berbanding versi ‘modded’ dari WhatsApp+ atau WhatsMapp.
