Re: game on!
The most interesting thing to me in the article is that they're focused on photos features next. One big challenge WhatsApp has is that they need to offer something beyond just simple texting in order to get folks in places like the US to use them over regular SMS. If they succeed at building differentiated photos features, then they could start winning in the US and other markets where they've historically struggled. This doesn't affect our goals in the near term, but this is getting more complex every day
