I wish these companies would stop copying each other.

I wonder if they requested that wish on their knees like they always do? 🤔

The same happened to me, and it was the WhatsApp backup process. It was fixed after a couple of days and a few app updates. I'm on beta so it's not totally unexpected for the app to fail or have somem bugs.

It's strange that it only affected Galaxy devices if the culprit was the app itself, but not unheard of.

I had to stop the background process every time I used the app to prevent the battery drain. Luckily it didn't last long.

Soooooooooo, WhatsApp is the culprit but you're blaming Samsung. Interesting.

Not necessarily blaming them. I'm more so calling out the hypocrisy regarding issues in general and how people seem to jump to conclusions.

Make no mistake, I have no problem with Samsung. I just don't like that they're being complacent with their cameras and they 🤬ing killed Samsung Pay, the MST part.

I can sort of see where there's some hypocrisy.

Yea, I'm honestly at a loss when it comes to knowing what my next phone's going to be. Waiting for the S27 announcement before wondering if it's time to import or not.

My base S24 has been having battery and heat issues lately, it's getting really annoying tbh.

NGL, I did like the last lineup of Galaxy phones especially the Ultra. I hated the boxy look of the previous generation. I prefer the current style although they need to go back to what the S-Pen used to be.

I love the feel of the S24 Ultra. It's the most comfortable phone I've ever had. The rounded design isn't for me. But I don't know what it is about the 10 Pro XL because that phone is super comfortable to hold without a case; so much so that I don't even have one for it like I do for my S24 Ultra & 17 Pro. The build quality of the last 2 Pixel models needs to be studied & implemented on all phones because it is so comfortable w/o a case.
