> You’d realise how bad this is when I tell you the benchmarks for the native WhatsApp for comparison. I tested the old/native WhatsApp, and it uses just 190MB most of the time, dropping to less than 100MB when it’s completely idle. At worst, it would reach 300MB, which can happen only when the chat is really active.

Well sounds like a lot of useless work was being done then, how does it gobble 100MB when idle? Are the protocols that complex?

Just do as I do and open web.whatsapp.com in your favorite browser
