About the WhatsApp Messenger App
This freeware messaging app has undergone many changes through its time of existence to make it quite popular. One of the newest additions to WhatsApp, since Facebook bought it out, is this new always active send button.
This will make a huge difference when you are en-route and may lose connection for a time. Previously you would not be able to press the send button and it has to be done as soon as you get connected.
The problem was that you might forget to resend the message while getting busy with other important things. This might have caused you to forget to send important messages, resulting in problems.
But with this new feature, you can press the send button and forget about it because it will be sent the moment you reconnect to the internet.
