WhatsApp will have to come out with an update soon to fix the battery drainage issue. Although the company has not issued any statement regarding the same.
The Facebook-owned messaging platform has been in a soup regarding privacy concerns and this battery drain issue is not going to make things easier. Earlier in the month, the Indian government had asked WhatsApp to show what it was doing to keep the customer’s data safe in India. Facebook-owned WhatsApp has over 400 million users in India which makes it the most popular messaging platform in the country.
