    Hi,

    I wonder, when will WhatsApp be fully integrated?

    In the hub there is nothing you can do from the overflow menu.
    And when you tap the avatar in a chat, the next screen shows the contact's information, but you can not use it from there. In OS7 it was always interactive/intelligent.
    I really miss that....

    FYI, you can actually tap anywhere on tap bar, not just the avatar.

    What integration are you looking for?
    I can think of options to call and/or to view their contact. Is that what you mean?

    Things missing:

    Call a contact straight from the app

    Search for a specific word in chat

    Share multiple pictures from the picture app( pick up multiple images and share them all ot once. Right now when you pick more than one whatsapp disappears from the list of apps you can share. although it seems to be an OS limitation than whatsapp)

    Record voice notes ( different function from the new "mic" that showed up a few weeks ago)

    I know I'm missing a couple but can't remember atm.

    Tapping the top bar in a chat shows you an info-screen from the contact. You can not use the phone numbers and email addresses from there. In OS7 you could just tap a phone number and a phone call was initiated.

    Same thing in the hub root. When I hold down an item in the hub root the overflow menu shows up. When the item is a text message, phone call or an email, the overflow menu gives you several ways to communicate with your contact. With Whatsapp items the overflow menu gives you none.

    For me, these kind of features makes a smartphone smart.
    Now, when I want to call a contact with who I have an Whatsapp chat, I have to leave Whatsapp, go to the phone app, look up the contact, choose a phone number and call him. That's old school. Nokia 8310.

    These are features which are possible when whatsapp is truly integrated.
