From personal experience, I cannot agree more. These editions are completely useless.

If the Whatsapp team actually tracked the rate of user engagement with these Desktop/Web editions & compared this to the Smartphone/Tablet apps. They would agree with you.

Surely you are talking about them tracking the rate of user engagement across their userbase, not just the data of you alone?
