Whatsapp's timestamp jeopardizes life
Its a no brainer. Whatsapp's 'last seen' timestamp has really ruined our life.
we can no longer have a day to ourselves without the exigency of replying to text messages. All of us have days, when we don't wish to be bothered. A day without constraints, on a pace we'd like to choose all by ourselves. But 'last seen' timestamp phenomenon, coaxes us to reply.We cannot get away with the only reading-part.
Is it the time Whatsapp should reconsider the timestamp? or is it the time we switch to messaging platforms which do not manifest such affixed ideas. And stick to the classic only-text platforms?
Whatsapp's last seen not only urges us to reply, when we really don't wish to, but also maturates distrust in the people who more or less make our lives. We need to find a way out of the clapper claw of this monstrous app!
With the new iPhones having inbuilt timestamp disabling options, but what about the non-iPhone users? here's the solution.
here are a number of applications which could help us out.

Back to.. 'I saw your text, but I don't wish to reply (right now) which by-any-means, does not mean I don't wish to text you at all'.
