Good morning greetings are causing havoc in India and creating headaches in Silicon Valley.

Each morning, hundreds of millions of people share "good morning" images with their friends and family members on WhatsApp, a free calling and messaging app.

It's causing problems by overloading the app's servers and clogging up phones across the country.

More than 200 million people in India use the WhatsApp messaging service. One in three smartphone users in India run out of space daily, as opposed to one in 10 in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal.

As per the WSJ report, there was a 10-fold increase in the number of Google searches for "good morning images" over the past five years.

On New Year's Eve, WhatsApp users in India sent more than 20 billion messages - a world record.


In an effort to combat the problem, Google is promoting its Files Go app. The tool helps users to free up space on their phones by searching and suggesting which files could be deleted.

A p2p app wouldn't have this problem as much I would think because nothing would be stored on the servers to send the message. I could be wrong.

Just people pretending they care for others xD ( I am an Indian btw ). I always get irritated seeing them and most of the time , they just don't try to start up a conversation after troubling you with their damn message , Errrh .

{
sleep.good();
}

Quite sad imho when they have to rely on electronic Communications for that in the first Place.

Also handwritten Letters or at least Post Cards have way more Style than electronic Messages.

But why do Indians even feel the Need to tell everyone they're close to and whom they cannot tell in Person every Morning that they wish them a good Morning?

Remove the broadcast option from WhatsApp and this frustrating problem will get solved.
Or atleast add a feature where you can disable broadcasts from specific people.
Things are worst during Indian festivals, most of the Indian people BROADCAST new year greeting message. That becomes just an empty greeting from the other person with no feelings.

I supposed to ask about the things that you do with fb. Do you speak approximately deep topics for file or simply the random banter? I have to have written sincerely I guess.
