Whispered with someone before and want to pick up where you left off? If they're nearby, but don't have the app running, just use Whisper to send them a chat request using Apple's push notification service.

Whisper uses a new, specially designed reliability protocol, so it keeps working smoothly even if the network is slow. Even so, if a message doesn't get through for some reason, Whisper shows this by turning the message red. If you send a text message while a large picture or contact is being transmitted, Whisper gets the text through while the other transfers continue in the background.
