Whatsapp
Downloaded 1.1GB of data overnight

My phone reported that WhatsApp downloaded 1.1GB of data overnight. This used up my entire data bundle for the month and added R70 to my phone bill.

It did not update:
1. I already had the latest version
2. My phone is only set to update WhatsApp on WiFi
3. NO UPDATE should be 1.1GB

I did not receive any media or messages during the night and WhatsApp network usage reported only 5MB of data received and 1.1GB of message data. Strange considering I didn't actually get any messages.

I have tried to email them twice, but they just send an automated reply, telling me to try their FAQ, which is obviously not helpful.

I have encountered others with the same incident - quite a GIANT bug. Everyone be warned.
