iMessage for Windows: A labor of love that will never see light of day (2018)

Notifications only seem to work if WhatsApp is actively running, unlike every other app on the iPhone.

I checked again, and yup, a bunch of messages in a group chat I never was notified for.

That behavior is fine if it’s your primary app, but it sucks if you’re not constantly checking.

Also, 2 is a bad thought in general. Consider: “Windows has a billion+ users, of course it doesn’t crash. You don’t get 1 billion+ users with bsod and forced updates.”

Have you given WhatsApp notification permissions?

Your comparison to Windows is probably more appropriate than you think. When is the last time Windows crashed on you (and it wasn't a dodgy third-party driver that caused it)? It works fine for nearly everyone using it. So does WhatsApp.
