Broken with memory leak

[Shanespeed]

First of all, thank you for making this lovely application, been using it without any issues until now.

Today I noticed that my desktop suddenly froze up with small gaps of minor responsiveness. After opening the system monitor I noticed Whatsie was using 10% cpu and 12 gigs of ram. After reopening Whatsie I notice that it loads my chats, but I can't send any messages. Checking the system monitor again it consumes between 6 and 20% cpu and steadily increases the ram usage.

@Shanespeed fwiw, it seems logging out of WhatsApp within Whatsie and then restarting it at least temporarily resolved the problem of not being able to properly load and send messages.

same issue. couldn't even logout properly, had to force close it.
logging in again solved it for now, but this honestly sucks as I had to re-type several msg again.

I just noticed that as well. It's taking several gig of memory and lots of CPU usage on my machine. What's it doing?!

[ratio91]

unusable. I switched to "ZapZap" until this one get's this issue fixed.
