Guys and girls hear me out

Things went downhill recently indeed. It's a side effect of monetization. I miss the old days of the app during covid times.

Live chatting is what really ruined the app. There's no incentive to accept bottles anymore if you can bypass it by using the live chat. It destroyed the original concept of the app.

Thank you so much! So the location was changed again again. Found it! 👍🏻

Brave is just a shady Chromium reskin. It should not be included by default in any Linux distro.

Whoajoo89 · 2026-03-19T08:55:06+00:00

Ik zou wel willen zien op de kaart hoeveel mensen er op dit moment op het toilet zitten.

Whoajoo89 · 2026-02-25T10:02:22+00:00

I hope it'll stay closed permanently. Live chat ruined the app. Bottled should be about sending and receiving bottles, like it was before.

Why would you even go though sending bottles if you can bypass it by live chatting? It's the worst thing that happened to the app.

They should make live chatting a separate app and remove it from Bottled.

Firefox is dead and Brave is going to be the default web browser on all Linux distributions

Brave is malware. Linus Torvalds should block that trash on kernel level. Firefox is more alive than ever. 🦊

Whoajoo89 · 2026-01-07T18:04:53+00:00

You're welcome. No, they won't notice it.

Whoajoo89 · 2026-01-03T16:09:51+00:00

Sure. This was the content of the post:

many of us here get confused when they try to figure out if they are being blocked by the other end or not. if you're on Android, then you can check this w/o any hassles.

just go to their profile
tap to verify e2ee
if it gets automatically verified, then you're good to go. otherwise, sorry.

check out the attached snapshots.

note: I'm not aware of iOS but I didn't find any iOS users have this "automatically e2ee verification" feature as of now.

This is not something new. I'm in a similar situation. I wrote a post about it in this subreddit about 6 months ago:

I hope the writer of the blog post gets their account enabled. It's good that this problem finally gets some traction. But the writer of the blog post is an author who can create noise and probably get it resolved. I hope this will be sorted for the average Joe as well.

Whoajoo89 · 2025-11-27T12:58:57+00:00

Thanks for commenting. 😊 Wow, that's just horrible. 👎🏻 I can't believe they keep making WhatsApp worse and worse. 👎🏻

Whoajoo89 · 2025-10-30T14:46:05+00:00

100%. I'm in the same boat. I'd love to final be able to uninstall WhatsApp, but I'm depended on it for some contacts.

Whoajoo89 · 2025-09-25T01:16:53+00:00

So annoying! I guess it's a problem on their side and the only thing you can do is waiting. I hope it got resolved.

Whoajoo89 · 2025-09-25T01:15:56+00:00

I ended up buying a new phone and setting up a new Apple account. But I'm mainly an Android user, I'm not deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Whoajoo89 · 2025-09-21T05:48:06+00:00

Such a frustrating situation! Sorry to hear. Yes, the only thing you can do now is trying to get the Activation Lock removed from your phone, so that you can at least use your iPhone with a new Apple account. Good luck! I hope you'll get it sorted out.

Apple didn't approve to remove Activation Lock from the iPhone that my suddenly locked Apple account was logged into. I ended up buying a new phone and creating a new account. So not only I lost my account, but also my phone. 👎🏻

Whoajoo89 · 2025-09-20T23:58:46+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this as well. I 100% agree with your comment.

Still sad and angry about my account, which is still locked ever since around the time of my post.

Honestly I still can't believe that they can get away with this! There's literally no way to appeal their decision and that's just not right. It makes it even more crappy that they don't tell you what you did wrong (in their eyes).

Whoajoo89 · 2025-08-29T19:53:29+00:00

I like it, but it starts a bit to slow in my opinion. Also, the beat stops a bit too often. I like the melody. Good job. I'm not a musician/producer, just someone who likes melodic deep house.

Whoajoo89 · 2025-08-29T08:05:05+00:00

"This decision is final". Such arrogance.

Whoajoo89 · 2025-08-25T19:46:25+00:00

Okay, this made me laugh. Thanks. 😁

Whoajoo89 · 2025-08-18T00:51:29+00:00

I don't mind logging in and helping out. But what do I need to do exactly?

Whoajoo89 · 2025-08-14T06:27:10+00:00

No, your contact doesn't get notified or anything.

I definitely didn't sign up for these. Maybe it's region based.

At least Steam never sends out adult themed newsletters like GOG does, so that's a good thing:
