What do you mean by "Long time" in your post?
Am using L520, and it usually takes 4-5 seconds to open Whatsapp from start tile. Maybe 1GB WP8 can open it a bit faster.

Sometimes it takes way more than that. Usually it takes 5-6 seconds but that is a long time too

Edit:

Compared to android which hardly takes a second.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Why does opening apps take a large amount of time on lumia. Both 520 and 820 that my parents have take a long time in opening apps like whatsapp.

Its a problem specific to whatsapp.

With win 8.1 stuff changes, in the manner that task in memory are handled. You should see it improve. But overall, this goes back to a limitation of the OS itself, nothing you can really do about it.

Ah! Don't compare Android version here - the OS's are different. We can't expect an app to work as the same, across all platforms.

Actually , I disagree. Yes you cannot comapre the benchmark scores and stuff, but you MUST compare usability.

I'm lucky that my whatsapp usage is more like 20 seconds per week - of which 5-10 is waiting for it to load. :>

Whatsapp is not a well made app for WP sadly. For the same reason whatsapp has been pulled from the store and they are going to fix all the issues and then bring it back to the WP store. Please use some other apps. You will notice that they open much faster.

Looking forward for the update.

Yes. Other apps load quicker. I hope they fix it soon.

Anybody playing "Magic Realms" here?
If yes, why don't we start a clan for TDF there?

lol.

Micromax's first Windows Phone is rumored to sport a 5-inch FullHD display along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2GB of RAM

They should first release Android phones with these specs instead of rebranding mediatek ones. Even Snapdragon 400 chipsets would do :|
