Google researchers in Silicon Valley are blaming Android smartphone freezing up across India as blissfully unaware Internet newbies are overloading their Android phones with Good morning message images. The problem isn't only affecting Whatsapp, which launched Status to allow people to greet everyone in their Whatsapp list at once instead of individual messages.

Almost all of them are getting online on an Android phone and everyone's hooked onto Whatsapp. Millions of Indians are getting online for the very first time, and they have two things in common. Before the clock hits 8 am, hundreds of millions of messages have fired off in either directions.īut there's a serious consequence to this daily digital obsession gathering pace in India - it's overloading Whatsapp's servers, and choking people's Android phones under a deluge of Good Morning images. Immediately after sunrise, or sometimes even before the crack of dawn, your incoming message alert starts chiming at regular intervals.Īs family friends and relatives wake up to a new day, all of them are thoughtfully wishing you a Good Morning through an assortment of images - sun rising, flowers, baby photos, inspirational quotes and then some.
