WhatsApp Messenger App Reviews

can't even log in anymore. I made an account and I've used it off and on. Sometimes I delete it; sometimes I restore it. Sometimes, I just delete the app for a while from my phone. My account has been suspended a few times and I'm not sure why - there's never an explanation. This most recent time I hadn't even been using it for weeks. I logged in and it told me my account was suspended; I appealed and they restored my account, but as soon as I logged into the restored account, the app told me my account was suspended again. I would just like to login. I literally sent one message before the suspension alert popped up again. The message I sent was to tell the person that I wouldn't be communicating with them through WhatsApp anymore and that they could find me on a different app. At this point I just want to login so I can delete the account. I don't want my chat lingering in cyberspace for the rest of time. There should be a support number I can call, or an online support network if customer service reps that I can chat with. This last time I was so frustrated when the suspension message popped up again after I've been on my restored account for approximately 15 seconds, did I forgot to enter in my explanation of what happened and why I'm appealing the so-called "suspension" again. This app is frustrating and stupid. There are many other chat apps (telegram) that do all the things that WhatsApp does but without the glitches and without the noncommunication

Not impressed. I recently bought an iPhone 14 pro max! I switched from a Samsung galaxy note! In my world I am American and my wife is Dominican! We use WhatsApp daily to speak to one another! Often I copy and paste in conversation because my Spanish is mediocre at best! I itch my Samsung phone I could copy multiple messages at one time and paste to my translator to keep up with the pace of conversation! With Apple that piece of functionality isn’t there! I just don’t think the Apple people understand or have done enough research as to why certain things are important. To copy one message at a time has brought our conversations back to the stone ages! I really like my iPhone! But this is consistent in many applications but it really means something when using WhatsApp!

From Bad to Worse. What was once a wonderful secure platform is fast becoming a laughingstock ever since it was touched by Facebook. So thoroughly disappointed. Relatives abroad had told me that Facebook is phasing out WhatsApp but demands that we give them all our contact details; I’m not for that. Apparently, In the UK, WhatsApp was given customers until the first week of February before they close an account if the customer refused to except terms to the detriment of customer privacy. Now there is a delay to this change? It’s still going to happen so why the delay? Could it be that this delay is to collect our information anyway without a permission, anyway? I have now started looking for a replacement to WhatsApp. I am sorry to be parting company with you but it isn’t the secure independent platform it once was and the quality has progressively deteriorated. To be honest, if I could opt for zero stars that would be the level at this point. I’ve been trying to speak to others over the platform but I’ve spent more time trying to reconnect or redial and it’s just not worth it. Another competitor bows out.

Disappointed and worried. I downloaded the app a few days ago to use once I joined groups around my area. I haven’t used it yet or added anyone to my contacts. Today I got a text on my phones base messaging app saying “hello” I blocked it immediately, I get the same message a few hours later from a different number, so I block it too and look up the reason. I saw that it could be the app, so I go into Whattsapp only to see I’ve been banned, I appeal the ban then contact support expressing my privacy concerns. The only thing they seem to get out of what I said was that I was trying to appeal a ban through email. That wasn’t even what I said in the email, I was completely ignored when it came to my privacy concerns. Then, I do some further research to see that people are payed to mass report accounts to get them banned. And that Whattsapp had an issue with many users getting banned for no reason and their numbers leaked. Yet you claim to have a “secure” app, I didn’t even use it yet and I already got issues from it! Not cool at all. :(

Best App Ever!. There is not enough text space to write down everything I love about this app, nor do I have the time to write it all down!! Suffice it to say, I wish I could get everyone in my contact list to use this. For work, we have a record of all of our conversations, which in my line of business, this has been a really good thing for us. Also, you can see when the person read the message. Being able to back up conversations to the Cloud has also been useful. One of the things I’m most impressed by the Developors of this app is that they are constantly updating the app with new capabilities. Like I said, there are several things I could continue to write about how much I love this app. Suffice it to say, it’s one of the best Apps in my phone and I’m a hard critic when I comes App reviews.

New update needs a new update. The new update has made it difficult for those with visual impairments to comfortably use it or has made it so they will ultimately choose to not use it at all. It needs an option to go from the dark version to a light version. The color blocking for the chat list being changed has heavily affected to ability for some to see the separation clearly. There needs to be a better way to report said issues. The AI is great in most cases but there should be an option for live personnel to eventually provide proper customer support when AI isn’t capable of giving the users the resolve they are looking for. Before this update WhatsApp was a 5 star for myself and those close to me. But this update quickly changed that. I’ll gladly remove my 1 star and update it to a better review based on how this review is received. Thank you to anyone reading this and has a hand in a fix for users with the same issue. It’s will be greatly appreciated 🙏

WhatsApp Changed for the Better!!. I have used WhatsApp for about a year now, and I love it!!!!WhatsApp is an overall Great and Safe social Media!!! It allows me to be able to communicate with friends and family around the world! WhatsApp is a great way to message and talk to your friends and and family virtually! It has satisfied me 100%! I extremely suggest it. One feature that I’m in love with is, the status feature, it allows you to post videos,gifs,pictures about you and what your doing today, and plus to keep it safe, only your contacts or the people you chose can view it!! WhatsApp is amazing! My friends and I enjoy it very much!! It keeps me in touch with everyone! 😊! I 100% recommend anyone to use WhatsApp, it’s completely safe and free!! 🤩🤩 Sincerely, Kira Robinson

Have an issue witmy whatsapp account. Suddenly i was unable to open the application and I tried again and again but it work and i am ao worried about datas and deleted the application and restored it again and it worked fot one hour and of course all my data history was not in the application and whike I tried again to restore the backup from iCloud it suddenly stopped functioning again and it shows a message that you have been temporarily banned and you will be able to use WhatsApp after six hours and when six hours was over I opened the application and with a minute it again gave the same message you have been temporarily banned and you will be only be able to use WhatsApp after six hours and this is still the same situation I am facing and i am much concerned about my data's last history I have important informations and attachments which I am unable to get back . And actually I am not sure if my account was hacked or it's mistake of WhatsApp.

Banning Of Numbers. I was using WhatsApp alright until i woke up one morning to meet the message that my number has been banned from using WhatsApp. I haven’t downloaded any third party apps and my account is free of scam or any form of spam. No one has reported my account either and all of a sudden my number has been banned. I requested a review but was told there is nothing they can do about it and they had no reason to give to me as well for banning my number from WhatsApp. The only option i have now is to sign up with a new number and this apparently that means i’ll loose my previous texts and chats with friends from my contact and this is really bad!! I tried signing up again with the same number and I was told to wait for 12 hours to be able to verify my number with the one time password (OTP). Even after waiting all that while, I still couldn’t get my account unbanned and I’ve sent various emails to the support team but still no positive feedback. Where is the Credibility??

Privacy concern. WhatsApp is one of the best messengers, the fastest and most efficient, but I have a problem. I can not stop showing a call made through the application in the search history (spotligth) of the iphone. it doesn't matter from where you delete the call, not even deleting the contact at all from the iPhone, It always appears the last time you called that contact in the spotlight search if you call it with WhatsApp. This phenomenon does not happen with the native application of iPhone calls, deleting them from the history deletes them from everywhere and there is no trace of it in the spotlight search. This little detail does not happen with WhatsApp. I have had personal problems because of it, I hope you know what Iam talking about and solve this. Regards.

Definitely set 2FA !!. Love WhatsApp. Use it more than any other app. 100x better than SMS! However, it recently was hacked. And the person that did it, tried to scam my friends, family and business associates out of money by saying he was me and needed to borrow money. This was the moment I realized whatsapp support was zero help. I sent them messages and they replied with copied text from their FAQ. It was ridiculous. They did help one bit as it almost felt like they were supporting my hacker. Make sure you set your 2FA. And if you get hacked, delete whatsapp and change the SIM card in your phone. Then you have to wait 7-days for the email authentication to reset. My hacker kept resetting it so it actually took a lot longer. C’mon whatsapp! Figure out how to shut these guys down. Use the power of Facebook and figure it out!

Eh! I guess it’s good for someone else.. I don’t particularly like the way they do things on this platform. They claim to be secure and all but they are way up in your business for the most part and they are really rude to you if you need help with anything. To me they are just another version of Big Brother like the rest of their platforms are. I barely use any of them anymore because they have a funny way of seeing things that are really important to me. I know that in my country life used to be extremely racist and misogynistic etc but at least we had a little privacy and freedom. Or maybe I am not remembering it correctly. I don’t know, I just don’t feel like I have any of those things on these apps. I’m not even allowed to use profanity in front of an AI! I mean, come on! It’s a machine! I’m sure glad to know we’re about to ascend into the 5th dimension and out of this matrix. Lol I hope it doesn’t get worse than this one.

Suggestion. Hello whatsapp team. Can you remove the feature of not seeing the person online ! As this feature is misleading and not good for relationships and it caused me many problems why you dont let the other person see when the person is online while chatting this was the worst update you have done. Also why dont you add a feature for stopping people from sending voice messages as i dont prefer voice messages. Your only focus is to add features for people to hide o WhatsApp! You lost the main purpose of WhatsApp as it is a chatting application in which i have the right to know if the person is online or not and if they read my messages or not! Why you give a chance for people to mislead others on this application why you add deactivated for people to hide . Why dont you hide your application forever so we find a better one to use instead of an application that causes problem between couples.

Deactivating my account for no reason. I just got a new phone and a new US phone number I downloaded WhatsApp on my new phone. All my contacts were still there but my chat histories were gone. I used WhatsApp how I would normally use it. There were no chats on the main screen of my WhatsApp, I clicked on the contact of one of my friend’s to chat with and it created a completely new chat (therefore there was now one chat on my mainscreen). Normally whenever someone changes their phone number, it just notifies the other person that the person has changed their phone number. But in my case, it just created a whole new chat with the person. After I texted with 3 people with my new phone (only 3 chats were on my WhatsApp mainscreen), I got a “banned for spamming” message on my screen. After around 10 hours, they said I could reactivate my account. I put in my phone number and just as I was writing my display name, I received another ban. Now I just got my account back a second time so hopefully the same error doesn’t happen! I’m really upset by this and I hope WhatsApp manages to fix it.

Not opening a chat. So me and my friend were talking and I put too much emojis I didn’t even get to send I kept copying and pasting u until it makes a long paragraph because I wanted to try something but it just lagged and then I left WhatsApp and went back onto it and clicked on the friend I was texting but it didn’t open. Every time I click onto our chat, it doesn’t open it just lags on her name then I need to get off WhatsApp and on again I also turned off my phone and opened it again and still the same problem. I could open other peoples chat but not me and hers. It does let me go onto her contact info when I long click on her name but when I tried to get back onto our chat it wouldn’t work I even tried to do the chat search and it wouldn’t work. What would only work is the media,links and docs and the starred messages so please try to help me out with getting back onto our chat.❤️

Don’t update... Am begging you. With this stupid new update, Let me just try to be brief: •You can’t delete multiple statuses anymore, you have to delete one by one, it’s a very long and exhausting process if you post a lot •You can’t mute statuses anymore, it’s now impossible •You can’t preview a status, thanks to the update, it’s also now impossible •You can’t search for someone’s status, you have to scroll till you find them, feel sorry for those with over 500 contacts •Channels are being forced onto users, literally you can’t enable or disable them, they’re always there and they’re annoying to look at, I follow no channel and I wish I could get rid of the channel tab from my WhatsApp, no one and I mean no user in there right mind asked for channels, this was WhatsApp, not Telegram not Instagram, WhatsApp is a place for close friends and Family, not a place for me to follow Celebrities and Companies... we already have enough apps for that. •If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it - When will Companies learn? To be honest I feel like they might charge users and make all the features they removed a premium subscription. The greed Big companies have nowadays, it’s no longer about user experience, it’s now about how to milk the most money out of a user’s pocket. I won’t be surprised if they do this •They added useless features that people will never use and removed useful features that people use on a daily

Two days of trying to download -zero stars. We planned to use it for communication for a student trip. For 2 days the app has sent everyone in a circle. It gives the message, “App can’t send an SMS to your number try again in 1 hour, check your number. Tried selecting the Call option and received your phone number can’t be called try again in an hour.” I have attempted all of the trouble shooting Ideas from the help screen without a change. My daughter stated it took her 3 days of trying through this messaging to get the App installed. This is beyond frustrating we had 11 different parents trying to get the APP and we all had this problem. I have heard people love WhatsApp but when it can’t be downloaded and takes this much effort and time something is wrong and given there are more than 5 of us having the problem, I am safely going to assume it is not me. I emailed for support and didn’t get an answer. When you can’t get by the first page the APP doesn’t work.

Needs 1 change. I love this app, but 1 thing I wish they would change is their notification system/inability to get calls when I’m on another cal. Sometimes I’ll be on a phone call from my actual phone, and then when I get off the phone an hour later, and if someone from WhatsApp is trying to call me, it’ll say “Missed Video call from____”. To me, it’s annoying how if I’m automatically on a phone call, the WhatsApp video call won’t go through period. WhatsApp should let the video call go through, so even while I’m on my phone during another phone call, and I see someone calling me, I can answer the other. Sometimes it’s important and I need to answer because it’s family from another country, but I never can because WhatsApp automatically tells them I’m on another call, but doesn’t notify me. Fix it. Please. It works with audio calls, why not do this for video calls too?

WhatsApp- A Great End to End Encryption Platform. I am particularly fascinated with WhatsApp because of its versatility and agility as far as social media platforms are concerned. It takes customer privacy and security into great context and go out of their way to protect that customer information from 3rd parties and hackers. I have never heard of a hack or security breach into WhatsApp security systems. Overall the App has been great and has eased the way the world has connected via talking and sharing digital and graphical data. The only downside to WhatsApp is that when you lose your device or are out of storage and uninstall the app, you typically lose all your previous chats and data. I would have been great if WhatsApp had an option for optional storage space for sale, for folk to backup their communication and social media data. Thank you

UPDATES. I am leaving a 1-star review due to my frustration with WhatsApp’s forced update policy. I am perfectly content with the version I currently have, but I am being pressured to update. These updates do not improve the app—in fact, they often make the experience worse. Every time I open the app, I am prompted to update, and when I select the “Learn More” link to understand why updates are mandatory, the app immediately crashes and returns me to my home screen. This issue has persisted to the point where now, when I open WhatsApp, I only see a black screen. I am unable to use the app at all simply because I chose not to update. As a loyal user, I should have the option to decide whether I want to update the app, especially when the updates fail to enhance functionality or add value. Forcing users into updates and then penalizing them for noncompliance—by essentially locking them out of the app—is unacceptable. I strongly urge WhatsApp to reconsider this policy and respect users’ autonomy

Love Everything except.... WhatsApp is an amazing chatting app that conveniently connects you to a broad chat base of your family & loved ones, friends and acquaintances alike at a quick setup without having to generate unique ways to connect with each other. It has a plethora of other cool features like ability to make voice and video calls etc. and now even make payments to each other for a dinner you shared but did not pay for... BUT all this power without the possibility to lock the app or have a password access is a waste of opportunity to complete the offering by WhatsApp. I really feel THEY ARE RATHER LATE. PASSWORD PROTECT OPTION at starting the app window IS MISSING AND should have been there like yesterday ... it’s a simple feature addition but gives many people the safety they want to protect their communication and today communication is everything!

Please move channels off-screen.. Giving 3 stars, only because overall, I love WhatsApp…, but this is simply unacceptable. I am part of a large conservative group of people who is on the verge of getting rid of Whatsapp altogether. Some already have deleted their WhatsApp. This is all taken place since the “channels” were put on the WhatsApp home screen. I was determined to ignore the channels as they were simply an annoyance to me, and kind of in the way of viewing the daily updates of my friends and family. They were an annoyance, but one I could put up with, in exchange for the convenience and enjoyment of having Whatsapp as an option for communication. But then today I came on, and there was an unavoidable pornographic channel right in plain sight. I wasn’t able to find how to delete it either. Unfortunately that crosses a line for me, and many, many others in my life. If you don’t make a change, maybe in the content you allow on the channel icons/cover pics or the placement of the channels altogether within the app, I fear, I may need to follow the course of the many gone before me. Please consider moving Channels off the screen with an option to go to it whenever the user pleases, but only when they choose. Even better though, would be to have much higher standards for what you allow your channels to place as their cover photo. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Incredible. I really love this app. It's incredible how you can talk with anyone around the world without paying actual money. There’s nothing wrong happening with my version, the camera works well and shoots good photos. There are some things that would make this app the best messaging app. The first one is that when you mute a group chat there should be an option that allows you to mute it forever, same goes with the real-time location. When you create a group, others shouldn’t have the option to kick you from the group, and there should be an option to make someone not be an admin without having to kick the person and adding them again. Also, I really want the GIFs to have their own spot so you don’t need to go to Photos and Videos and then click GIFs. Also, make a DRAWING option. Well, that’s all. Thanks for this amazing app.

Scammers willing romantic messages and scams. I recently having what’s app and have a lot of messages wanting to be friends. First I just want to talked when I’m free, but after for 1 Months chatting then she started advices to make some money by investing in Crypto Currency by deposit in 3k for it and you will make about $100/per day, so of course first weeks you will see the investment increase and after that she will ask put some more fund in to increase up to 10k and you will make $425 per day and almost 14k per month and it’s looking good but after went to withdraw out there will be all kind of fee you will have to pay and some of secure application need to be approved if you want withdrawal to your bank account with in 48hrs and that’s never happened. Don’t ever listen to it specifically person I met is Chinese and all the system they’re all Chinese and they are in United State and HK they’ll have all Chinese girls willing make friend and trapped you in. Don’t be like me I warned all perso whoever is need to be careful..

Banning actual accounts. I’ve used WhatsApp before to talk with classmates while in emt school. Now I got a new number and had to remake a whole new account as it wouldn’t let me login to my previous account without that phone number for verification purposes. I created the new account without my new number and have tried messaging someone and every time I send one message even though all I said was “hi” my account had been banned. After some hours they allowed me to reactivate my account but that same thing has happened 3/4 times it’s frustrating. I contacted customer service every time and never hear anything back except for the last time I was able to reactivate and then message them directly though my account only for them to tell me no issues were found with my account… if no issues have been found why do you keep banning my account after any message I send? Idk how to fix this issue as I never hear back from customer service about how to keep it from happening again.

I have a huge problem with this app. Ok whatsapp why are so you put exit when you have no space literally what if yo have no service I literally had no service and then your like oh no space exit what if someone has a problem and needs my help then I fixed that problem and deleted photos but then I noticed when I clicked on camera or mic it says to go to setting to enable it and I never unable it and then it takes me to the setting where it says WhatsApp and it says nothing to enable a camera I search it up and it says to go to some photo thing so I can turn it on WhatsApp the photos and mic and it shows nothing all it shows is apps that have requested to access to you will appear hear please fix this I did nothing to WhatsApp I like it but this is frustrating

Would love to love this app, but I’m so frustrated. I’ve used WhatsApp for years - I used to travel a lot and it was great for group texts to my family back home and maintaining contact with my international friends. Recently I’ve been trying to use it as a group messaging tool for volunteers at my job - and I have had to submit a review request THREE TIMES because I have been banned for adding my OWN contacts (both in my phone and they have WhatsApp) to a group message with less than 30 people in it. When my review has returned that I’m a real human being, I would be able to add one more contact to the group before being banned again. When I send an email to try and get help on this, I’m told that I just need to submit a request for review in the app… which obviously hasn’t solved the problem the last 3 times so I’m unsure why it’s the only solution. Currently about to look for alternatives, which is sad bc WhatsApp has always been tried and true. But when it’s frustrating and there’s no hope in solving the problem.. it is what it is. 👎🏻

Appalling Experience! Arbitrary Number Suspension by WhatsApp!. During my recent travel to a foreign country, WhatsApp shockingly suspended my phone number without any valid explanation. As we're aware, in many parts of Europe and Latin America, businesses rely heavily on WhatsApp for customer communication. In fact, I was explicitly advised by the hotels in Peru to use WhatsApp as the primary means of contact during my stay. Right in the midst of providing crucial information to the hotel for my pickup arrangement, WhatsApp abruptly disabled my number. I promptly submitted a review request to reinstate my number, but to my utter dismay, WhatsApp not only failed to address the issue but completely banned my number! I found myself stranded in the remote mountains of Peru, desperately needing to contact the hotel for pickup. Unfortunately, the hotel didn't answer my phone calls, and I couldn't communicate in the local language. To make matters worse, this happened just as the sun was setting. The timing of WhatsApp's arbitrary number suspension couldn't have been more disastrous, leaving me in a state of extreme distress with no means of reaching the hotel.

My WhatsApp issues.. I’ve got a lot of problems with my WhatsApp app. First of all why every time i add stories then when I went back and deleted em other people still can see em? Today’s been 3 years since I started using WhatsApp but it still the same why i have to update my WhatsApp app every once in a while? And the main thing I noticed is even when I blocked someone i can read their stories and the can read mine as well sometimes i got very upset and one thing i also noticed is when I’m talking to someone on WhatsApp my background always looks black or blank and it won’t let me do nothing. Please guys do something with this app that will makes everyone happy. I use WhatsApp more than any other apps out here please fix these issues for me. Thank you 🙏🏾

Suspended Repeatedly with no explanation. I’ve always used WhatsApp while I travel. I’ve gained many international contacts from my trips that are all stored in WhatsApp. Recently I attempted to make a group chat for my family’s upcoming vacation. As soon as I created the group, my account was suspended. No explanation. I submitted an appeal. Got my account back. This time I made the group with even less people (5) and immediately was suspended again. I thought this app was supposed to be used for things like this? There are 30 of us going on a trip that leaves tomorrow and I can’t even connect to any of my people via WhatsApp and I’m the host for the trip. They are literally looking to me for details. How does that work? If you’re going to suspend an account, there should at least be some explanation so that people can know what they may be being flagged for. Plus, the fact that I’m being suspended when I consistently receive spam messages is crazy.

Status Updates!!. Firstly, I would like to express my preference of the status updates to be organized vertically. I can’t understand for the life of me, WHY do you think you have to change it. This format is more intuitive and user-friendly, and I believe many users share the same sentiment. If you did a survey, you’ll find that the vertical arrangement is mostly preferred. Additionally, I would like to suggest an IMPROVEMENT for the status updates. It would be INCREDIBLY useful if users could go back and edit their statuses to correct any grammatical errors or typos. Currently, the only option is to delete the whole post and start over again, which can be quite frustrating and inconvenient. On a positive note, I absolutely love the new feature that allows longer videos on statuses. Makes posting more enjoyable. I also love the ability to edit and correct grammatical errors in chat and the ability to delete messages in a chat. These are fantastic changes. Thank you for considering this feedback!

Filled with scammers, not a secure app. WhatsApp was what I used when I studied abroad to communicate with friends and family, but I unfortunately the app has so many issues that I refuse to use it even if that means it will be more difficult to communicate with those same friends and family living abroad. The app does provide some privacy in messaging, but based on the updated service agreements, it seems clear that Meta plans to use and train large language models on private messages. Additionally, WhatsApp has a series of issues regarding collecting metadata of its users and having nearly total freedom to monetize that information. I hate the idea of an app that claims to provide private and secure communication that is simultaneously monetizing my data. The app is also filled with scammers. I receive near daily notifications from massive cryptocurrency scam groups adding me to group chats promising “massive returns on my investment.” No matter how many times I report these groups, they just keep popping up. I blame the extraction of all contacts from your phone that WhatsApp uses to help you communicate with others through the app. It’s clear that Meta is doing nothing to address these issues and they continue to violate our data while doing nothing. If I could go back and never use the app in the first place, I would do it in a heartbeat. There other options for communication with family and friends abroad that does not come with the same issues that WhatsApp promises.

Splitting long videos for WhatsApp status. Hi WhatsApp… it’s your boy here. Yeah just wanted to say the app is great, really. Being from Jamaica, WhatsApp is pretty dominant, a great and easy way to connect with people you love. I have no issues using WhatsApp normally, but 2 years ago I discovered I had to manually split long videos myself in order to upload them to my status, I did do it for a time, then I stopped. It’s now 2022 and I still have to manually split long videos if I want to upload the whole thing to my status. I sure do hope the reason you haven’t added a feature to automatically split long videos into segments for WhatsApp status, isn’t because the world will explode if you do. If that’s not the case, then that’s all I’d like to see. Boy would it save me some time. Great app btw, definitely won’t stop using it unless you do something horrible…. Like kill a child

You are over bloating the application than what it is!!!. WhatsApp has always been an application that felt more private and more straightforward for communication with close family and friends. You adding channels, overly forced AI, changing the order statuses show and so on application is overkilling the application. Some of these features are not necessary. Especially when you have dedicated applications for such activities. Please carefully review this, I know you are trying to capitalize on having users on the application to add other features that should be in other applications than this one. If you another application pop up or others gain popularity with them not overly bloating their app, a large number of people will leave WhatsApp for it. I just updated my app and saw a meta AI floating button, like what do we need this? SMH. If someone wants to use an AI, they know where to go. Secondly as Apple is pushing its OS level AI, do you think having this features baked into your application will be necessary? It will make it obsolete. Your team should stop doing it. There so much an application can do that relates to a goal and phone screen Real estate. This is not a desktop application. You are forcing these features on the users and there is a breaking point to such activities. My advice will be to just have a contact that is the meta AI that people can chat with and ask it to do things. This is not over bearing.

Just a minor issue that’s really problematic. Sometimes my messages can’t go through on time and it’s takes forever for them to receive it. When I text my friends who own Samsung devices, the message won’t go through even though they’re still online. It usually takes about 3 to 2 minutes for the other person to read my message(s). What really bugs me is that once it shows *last seen today at (time)* the message that I’ve sent is delivered, and it’s would show the double check mark. So the person who I sent a message to would only get it if they exit out the app. Plus, no matter how much messages you send to that person, they will never receive it until they exit out of WhatsApp. Please fix this issue🙏🏼. It makes it really hard to communicate, even when it’s an emergency.

New Updates Are Trash. First: Before i was able to see the # of people that saw my story without having to log into the actual story….. now I cant… what are you doing? You’re making WhatsApp into a little version of Facebook, did you see how many stars Facebook has on Apple Store? It’s almost -1 on top of the fact you can’t even express yourself cause y’all block our accounts….ridiculous!!!!! Second: I do not want any channels. I stay away from social media not to have to see any of these ridiculous celebrities and their nonsense…. Now i have BadBun ny displayed to be followed…… why? You need to make an option for people to TURN THESE OFF! I didn’t like it on Facebook and I don’t like it here. It’s gotten to the point i don’t even want to have WhatsApp anymore and I’ve had it for over 12 years……. Stop trying to perfect this and perfect the signal and audio/video quality. Some of us are old school and don’t want to look into celebrities…. I only watch my contacts stories…. Third: If you keep adding more “technology” to this app a lot of people will stop using it…. Mark my words…. We liked the SIMPLICITY of the app, how easy it was for us to communicate with our families in other countries…. Now it’s like i said in the first paragraph “a little version of Facebook” we don’t want that….. we want silence and privacy…. Not that we can have all that with y’all anyways…..

WhatsApp freezing on iPhone X. recently I've been having some trouble with it on my iPhone X. It freezes once I open it and no matter how long I wait for, it doesn't unfreeze. Force quitting the app, restarting my phone of powering the phone off then putting it back on after some time doesn't help. sometimes have a few seconds after relaunching it to move around before it freezes again and that It helped me resolve it the first time it happened by deleting over 40 GB of media from chats. Now it's started freezing on launch again and I can't even successfully delete any media from my WhatsApp to try to fix it. have a lit of free space on my phone by the way, so I'm not sure what the cause is. It happens so suddenly. One moment I'm using it, the next moment, it won't work no matter what. still see the notifications from messages coming in, but can't do anything about them.

I can't send picture from iPhone X. iPhone ex I can't send a picture I can't change anything in the picture I can't write anything in the picture because the frame is a large then I can get the frames bigger the frames of the pictures bigger then the screen please fix this problem because I can't send picture from iPhone X ⬆️ Now it's fixed this is update for this I have other problem sometimes everything applaud when I'm inside the app and I can't make everything move until I push volume up volume down and power to shut down the iPhone this is coming between every week every two weeks inside the app everything is freezing Hello, WhatsApp does not work with me now and I cannot move anything inside it as long as I am connected to the internet, whether through Wi-Fi or through 4G and it does not move until I close WhatsApp, then close all communications and activate flight mode, then enter, do not move inside the application and do not send to anyone

Surprise Chats and Chat Groups Annoy. I do not like it that anonymous chats and chat groups can, and do, invade my WhatsApp installation. Recently, I received a whole chat group allegedly from the Goldman Sachs investment firm containing several chats probably about investment through the group. When I tried to delete the group, I was informed that you cannot delete a group, only archive it. I was so angry that deleted my WhatsApp icon entirely. Further, I learned that Goldman Sachs does not elicit investment business through WhatsApp! These are criminals trying to talk anonymous clients into sending them money. I think that any attempted insertion of an pop-up anonymous chat should be checkable by me, the account owner and receiver, whether it is to be installed yes or no. Then I could delete these proposed chats immediately when they arrive. If there is such a restriction available in the Settings, I have not found it.

Still not syncing contacts since iOS update months ago. When IOS updated several months ago, one of the features that was affected on WhatsApp was the option to sync contacts. I called Apple then and they informed me that each app provider must update their security profiles to be compatible with the new IOS. There have been 2 updates of IOS since then and still, WhatsApp hasn’t got with the program. Utility of WhatsApp has gone down as I have to research each contact to try to even place a call to them. Numbers that are in my phone book don’t register so it’s difficult to know which contact is which without that extra step in research. Furthermore, I can’t save new numbers directly from WhatsApp to my phone. This is quite frustrating. I have never left a review on this app before and decided that 5-6 months of this is enough. Can you please update your app to resolve this issue with iPhone!

Whats the point of this app.. I tried to register, failed many many times. Tried whats app business, registration worked. Following day I’m locked out due to terms of service( I am a business trying to contact another business in China, one would think that this business app would be appropriate since my phone number is a registered business number). It seems when you have whats app business, your not allowed to contact anyone unless you have their permission first. So then I tried to register with normal whats app. Im locked out due to spamming? I send my issue in for review and you guys do allow me to register (deleting my business account). I get a response from the original company I was contacting and I wrote a reply. I’m thinking that all is good and I will have my issues with the company fixed soon. After a few minutes I open the whats app app. I’m locked out again for spamming! I wrote a freakin reply! How is that spamming? How this app has high stars is beyond my knowledge.

Requested access to photos. I had a pop up from WhatsApp requesting access to all photos. I can't even remember the last time I used the app (it has been over a year) and at the time the pop up was displayed I was browsing in Safari. Since I didn't expect the pop up I mindlessly clicked Allow and then immediately went into settings to revoke all photos access. WhatsApp should not be requesting access to all photos out of the blue. I'm giving 4 stars because the app worked fine as far as I remember. I wanted to report the issue to WhatsApp but have not found a way to do that so am attempting to let somebody know by writing a review. I'll probably delete the app now though to avoid future occurrences. It makes me suspicious of what it could possibly be doing in the background without my knowledge because I didn't do anything that should result in WhatsApp wanting access to my photos.

Full communication…period. This was my first time purchasing with this company, and because I am a beginner with wigs I chose wigs that I should maybe have waited for the opinion of My teenage daughter, L O L the bottom line is when I returned. The three weeks was concerned with how the return process worked. From the initiation up until at this point, I’m in the phase of inspection, there has been full communication with this company in regards to the return. This communication was so strong and positive. It invited me to buy another wig which I love and now I am ordering more wigs, thank you very much for a positive experience. This is the site my daughter swears by and truthfully after she finished with her wigs, she gives them to me and I love them all so now I am buying for myself. You are awesome.

Horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Given that a lot of WhatsApp users, use it because they might travel a lot internationally. They might be in different countries and having this app makes it easier to communicate with family and friends when abroad. Of course the way they have the app designed you might be similar situation to me where your contacts from your WhatsApp AREN’T able to message you, but you are able to message them. When I had this issue, I tried to get help from ‎WhatsApp, and I only got generic robotic responses. They don’t have a customer support phone line. The worst part is from to my contacts and it looks like I’m receiving all of their messages (when I am not). And to those that say well, you’re not paying for it I would argue I would happily pay for it if it meant the application worked as it is suppose to. WhatsApp absolutely does not care about the well-being of their app users. They are irresponsible and it’s egregious.

Plenty of room for improvement. As an avid user of social internet media , I found WhatsApp is lacking in many convenient features offered in other apps. I use Facebook when I want to express some thoughts, events etc. But FB Messenger is not efficient in quick text, so I still resort to 20 years old practice in text msg like in Nokia phones. WhatsApp is subservient to the features offered by WeChat. Understood that WeChat is by Tencent in China, nevertheless the features are amazing. The Moment posting functions are like Facebook post. The conversation wether individual or in chat groups are more user friendly than WhatsApp. It allows recalling a wrong message sent in mistake. Attaching files and emojis are awesome. My only complain is that once viewed in one device the message cannot be reviewed in an other, which FB allows all history conversation once logged in. I lived in America over 47 years. I highly recommend friends to use WeChat for daily contacts over other apps.

.. I've done nothing wrong and WhatsApp is my main messaging and communication app, use it to study, work and most important to keep in contact with my immediate family members who live far from me in another country, i have never done anything illegal or against their policy on there and I'm desperate to get my account back. And I've not used any unofficial app I've always only used the official app. At this point I don't even know yet if it's a permanent or temporary ban I've sent hundreds of emails since this happened more than 6 days ago, l've tried everything I could imagine to get in contact with support and I've not received a single reply. I have not know from my family for days because of this and is starting to frustrate me more, the only option I have left is keep sending messages through Instagram and Facebook as well and even post this here because I don't know what else I can do since this was obviously done by mistake. I cannot change my phone number because this number in linked to way too many sites.

THESE BUGS ARE ANNOYING!. Firstly I’d like to commend u guys for creating such a fantastic updated version by including voice notes recording to WhatsApp status, to be honest it’s so good. But it’s got few bugs and you’ve got to fix them; 1) once I go offline and I get back online I won’t see any status that was posted while I wasn’t online and it’s heartbreaking especially for business owners like us, we post goods available for sale and most of our customers are unable to see them and patronize us because they were not online the moment we updated our status. 2) As a business owner I have lots of contacts of customers but due to the traffick on the app my WhatsApp hangs really bad I find it difficult to post on my status and if atall I try to it take up to 1hr before my post finally get uploaded. Pls this is really frustrating pls fix it before I start considering abandoning WhatsApp for another social media app that doesn’t glitch. Thank you.

Need to fix the notification sounds with in the app send and recibe they don’t work please. Please bring back the send and receive sounds within the app I do not mean the notifications you can configure. I mean that ones we have always had when you are sending messages back-and-forth with the person. They’re used to be a sound for when they sent you a message, and you had the app open. This has been removed in one of the many updates. This app has gotten in the past few months. This is extremely annoying for visually impaired people like me. If some people. Don’t like this You should just give them the option to turn it off, or keep it on, if they like. Please bring this option back. I know they’re other alternatives to ‎WhatsApp like telegram, but I don’t really want to do that. I am not asking for much. Just give us the options. We had sense. Forever. I’ve been using this app for over six years and never once had a problem like this. This app is all about communication, and I cannot communicate properly because by the time I am done. Typing my response. I have 2 or 3 new messages

Bluetooth/Airpod mic update suggestion. I would like to humbly suggest an update in the name of users who use Bluetooth AirPods. The microphones on these devices are terrible for recording voice memos. People never understand what I say. It would be good if it were like Instagram. On Instagram, when you record a voice message it utilizes the iPhone mic instead of the AirPod mic even when using the AirPods. When I am having a conversation with someone via voice memos on WhatsApp, I have to turn off Bluetooth, then record my voice memo. After I’m done recording I have to turn Bluetooth back on. It goes on and off indefinitely until I am done with my conversation. So with that it would be awesome if we had the option to turn off the Bluetooth/AirPod mic only in a setting or just update it to be like Instagram where it records on the iPhones mic and only plays back on the AirPods. Thank you so much!!

TAG FEATURE SHOULD BE ADDED WHEN UPLOADING ON STATUS.. I’ll suggest that contact should be able to tag people on their status , because sometimes people upload your pictures and you don’t end up seeing it within 24hrs when it disappears ... but if a tag feature is added , I can easily upload a picture and tag whosoever is in it and even though he doesn’t end up viewing all his contact status he will definitely see mine and I get a “thank you” This happens mostly on birthdays when a lot of people upload a picture of you and you can’t view all contact status to know who and who uploaded your picture so you can thank them... but with this tag feature ... contacts can tag who is in his/her story and the person get to see it ... Thank you

Privacy. The privacy on WhatsApp is incredible, I know you probably don’t have time for young girls but basically my whole year level agrees to make it more like snap, not fully copy right but try and change the status so it isn’t so embarrassing when you add to it👍 Also if you do change it we have all agreed to spread the word, you know tell everyone to get it because it’s better than snap, hahahaha!!! Also you should add a camera simble next to all the chats so you can just click on that and send a specific photo to each chat, instead of changing it in settings every time😫 another good reason is because Snapchat is 17+ or something so basically no one is allowed it, if you include these simple things then it might just be the next big app, isn’t that what you want??? I know exactly what your thinking why would any idiot like me waste all of this time just for a comment? Well because it’s not just me talking about this, it’s the whole freakin school!! Even the teachers, I am only 16, I don’t expect you to just go and change it but at least try!! Why save the best till last, it’s worth a crack isn’t it?? And if it doesn’t work, just change it back no biggy, and I know I have no idea what I am taking about it’s probably a lot harder than I think it is but just have a go!! You only have one life so why not try and live it instead of trying to survive it??? Yours Sincerely, The great idea!!

Needs an Apple Watch app!. Calls through WhatsApp do not work on Apple Watch. I cannot tell who is calling me which forces me to take my phone out of my pocket to see who is calling. When my phone is on silent this can be rather annoying as I may miss the call entirely. Even Facebook Messenger has the same problem even though it has an Apple Watch app! This could probably be solved by sending a simple notification to the Notification centre when phone calls are being received. If possible, a Garmin-watch-like system would be nice with options to decline or answer calls. I’m not sure if that’s possible with Apple’s SDK but I’d at least like to see simple notifications.

Date order not working. Previously when I used to delete a message from a chat, Whatsapp automatically used to resort the chat list according to date. As a result of recently upgrading the app in this current version, when I delete a message it does not change the chat list by date. For example, if someone messaged me last month and then again today, if I delete today's message, that chat will not move down to last month. In fact, it will remain on top of the list with last month date on the right. Please correct and restore to how it worked on previous versions. Thanks.

Great app!. I think the app is great, but when I look at the messages it has grey and blue ticks, 2 grey ticks means that it has been delivered and 2 blue ticks means that it has been read. The only thing I think they should improve the app is to make as many blue ticks there is as people. Eg. if I have a group chat of 8 but only 5 people have read my text then it should have 5 blue ticks, but if all of the people in my group chat have read it they should make it one tick but another colour like red or something so I know that everyone has read it. But other then that I think this app is Awesome

Voice notes don’t record when connected to Bluetooth device. I love the voice note feature in WhatsApp and use it constantly to connect with friends. However something that happens regularly is that one of us forgets we are connected to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones and then a whole voice note records without sound. It would be GREAT if WhatsApp could build in a feature where it notices if Bluetooth is connected and gives a warning or won’t go ahead with recording the message. Please! Thank you! It’s so sad to speak your heart deeply for 15min only to realize it went into the void. Thanks guys 🙌🏼

Great app! Available on more devices please?. WhatsApp is honestly one of my favorite ways to text my friends and there’s very few bugs. It’s a great quality app and I’ve had it for about 3 months now and I haven’t had any problems that weren’t fixed by an update. The only downside is that I recently broke my phone and can’t see the screen at all but I don’t have the money for a new phone just yet, it would honestly be great if it was possible to have WhatsApp expand to iPad and iPod just to make it easier for people that can’t get it because they don’t have a phone or their phones are currently broken. Please expand this to more devices. Thx

Great for home and International. Works off your phones data plan if you don’t hook to wifi. Data rates will apply as per your phone plan so if you use up your data you will be be charged. When you go international always make sure there is available free wifi and hook to it prior to using Whatsapp, that way you won’t use up your data plan (which happens really quick when outside your own country) and there won’t be any charges. It’s the only app I use when I travel.

Great but…. Read the review. Ok a few things. I love this app it’s amazing for me to text my family and friends. However when I don’t have much storage left it shuts me out of the whole app. The other day I was in a sticky situation and needed to message a friend on WhatsApp who I can’t message on normal message apps. But I didn’t have much storage and it had locked me from the whole app so I couldn’t message her until I deleted so many photos. Another feature which would be a great add on to the app would be timed texts. If you don’t know what I mean by that I mean messages that you can choose when you want to send them by putting them ons timer and they send at that later time. Thank you.

Problems with iphone12. I’ve just updated from my iPhone 6 to an iPhone 12. I never had any problems phoning friends overseas on the iPhone 6 but having tried to phone someone in another country this weekend,I could not get through and I don’t know what it said because a message appeared very briefly on the screen before I could even take a screenshot. How can I address this to allow me to communicate with my overseas friends and family with WhatsApp? Normally, I would give this a very high rating but from going to something simple on my older iPhone to now an issue, has just been very frustrating. I have tried to address the problem but it has been very time-consuming and unsuccessful.

Enable Poll Function and Deletable Unread Message. Thank you WhatsApp! It has been such a great tool for communication so far, I thought that it would be great if a poll function can also be integrated in the group chat — especially useful when trying to organise event etc so people can quickly choose the dates etc... or the going or not going rsvp function like we have in Facebook messenger? Also is it possible to have unread messages to be deletable forever for all recipients? It seems that it is currently only deletable within certain minutes after its being sent?

Unable to edit pictures. This new update prevents you from editing a picture if you’re sending it directly from your gallery or anywhere else from that matter. You can only edit when you select the picture while in the person’s page. I’m not sure why but your new updates always come with issues! You probably should ask customers what they want instead of making awkward updates because we are forced to update! The ai option too???? It’s a communication app! Do we need that?? Can’t we have the option to deactivate it. Please help fix these problems. 1. Editing pictures when sending (which was not a problem initially!) 2. Option to deactivate ai

Love it but please add this feature. I really love this app to the extent that I can’t imagine living without it because it’s where I can contact all my friends and relatives who use it very easily! Thank you very much However I’m frustrated that I can’t send videos of large sizes. It’s really frustrating to like a video and benefit from it and then you can’t share it with your lived ones just because of the size limit. So if you could fix that that would be VERY appreciated :)! Thanks again for the lovely app!

Worst Support of any application. I have emailed to support that in iphone i am getting two different ringtone like for voice call and for video call i am getting two different ringtone and there is no option to change them because video call tone is so scary which i never set and I can’t change it even though i change my ringtone in settings but still it is not changing. When I emailed the support they told me to change message tone 😤 they didn’t even listen to my problem even i have emailed them back and they told we already have gave you solution please refer to it. How come this big messengers company lack in support for user Very disappointed 😔

BIGGG ISSUE. First of all, the whastapp customer support is close to NONE. Horrible customer service. The BIG ISSUE is that there is no number/account safety. You can loose your number so quickly, i change my simcard because im in an area that i need another simcard and in the time of 3hours i lost my 4 years account with all my clients loosing a lot of money. When i try to comunicate this with support was imposible. They didn’t even gave me the chance to set an automatic message to my chats or contacts that i was changing number, i didn't even want to change number! Just the sim card for signal. I changed simcards 3 times since i had that account. Now is lost there is a teenager girl on my profile picture talking with my former contacts. If there is any other company there that lunch something similar to whatsapp there and some of my friends are using it, i will switch in a heartbeat.

Need to be add very important feature. Hii, WhatsApp i want to suggest that please add a new feature to check a particular date chat in this feature we can check any information from our chat which i had before a month. In the absence of this feature sometimes we want a information which we have shared via chat with someone or we want it immediately but it takes too much time to find. So, it will be easy to find if just open a particular chat and search a particular date and get all within a min. I am looking forward for this update. Thanks

Auto Chat Backup Not Working. 1. Chat backup used to happen daily when plugged in and connected to wifi. Since the last major release, this has stopped working. Only manual updates work. 2. Add more notification management Please add a way to suppress/silent subsequent messages from the same person/group within a short period. People tend to send messages as they type these days, rather than write a massive paragraph and send at the end. Would be good to have the option to only push notify once every 30 seconds perhaps from the same sender.

Flagging my number even though I’ve never had an account before. Would rate this 0 stars if I could. My number got flagged as cannot make an account due to spam (I have never owned a WhatsApp account) I wasn’t mad, surely it was a mistake. I requested a review and they restored my account saying it was an accidental flag, tried to use it, it flagged me again, I was annoyed but I requested a review once again and they said the same thing and “restored” my account. Third time trying to use the app, it flagged my number again. I have to use this for my University work and I am behind on my assessment majorly because of this and I am so upset. I might fail my assignment because of an app not letting me use it, out of desperation I used a friends number who also has never used WhatsApp, and it flagged my account again. I need someone to get in contact with me about this ASAP.

Spam has become a big problem. I’ve used WhatsApp for years and it has helped me to keep in touch with friends and family across the globe. But over the last 6 months I’ve received various spam messages from unknown numbers. The messages are in perfect English and the profile photo is always a young Asian woman. Most people I know in Australia (partner, family & friends) are experiencing the same thing. It’s getting out of hand. My partner and I just received an identical message, only the number was different, both profiles included a photo of a young (different) Asian woman. If WhatsApp doesn’t do something to stop this I won’t continue to use what was once an almost perfect app/experience.

Security and privacy issues. Ok, so I don’t like leaving negative reviews because there is always room for improvement with all things. I do however like to leave truthful reviews as positively as possible based on my experience. I have been using WhatsApp for two years now. I live outside of my home country and have friends all over the world so I am constantly communicating with people through WhatsApp. It seems like lately I am constantly being inundated with spam of all kinds. Spammers wanting to reach out to me “as a friend”, group chats about getting rich today, spam sites reaching out to me, etc. And today I received spam in my messages and email through WhatsApp. This is terribly discouraging and frustrating. I use other third party apps and have never experienced an issue with any of them except WhatsApp and Messenger. Because so many of my friends use WhatsApp, I would love to be able to trust it and not have to deal with unwanted solicitation. Is there a way for WhatsApp to up their game? That is my desire. It would be much easier for that to happen than for me to convince all of my friends to use another app.

Whats wonder. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the creators of WhatsApp. Your incredible creation has truly made a significant impact on people's lives, allowing loved ones to feel closer to each other, regardless of the distance. It brings back memories of a time when making international calls to my home country used to cost a staggering $3.40 per minute and that was in the 90’s money value. Thank you, WhatsApp makers, for making communication more accessible and bridging the gap between loved ones.

Fantastic and would recommend!. Wow! I was honestly very surprised when I got this app that it was going to be this useful and fantastic! I would never not recommend this app to all of you! This app is great for these times especially because you can still talk to friends and family! CoronaVirus is terrible so talking to your friends on This is great! Would recommend to everyone! I would say 7+ for this app! If your parents are worried about this app for you then show them this comment! This app is great for all ages! Recommend by...

Amazing app, but could use some work.. I think whatsapp is great but I’m the camera they could add some filters. Not too many, just stuff like black and white (mono). As well as this they could add a like button on the Status section. So even if you don’t want to comment, you can still like it. This is so the person knows that you liked the image or whatever. Because when you see the views on your status you don’t know if people actually liked it or not. But over all it is a great app. Especially because you can see if someone has read your message or not.

Save your excuses. You have some nerve saying people have a lot of confusion about the new privacy policy. No one is confused. We are downright outrageous. So much for promising to keep WhatsApp walled off from rest of Facebook. They made it seem like nothing’s changing now only because data sharing with Facebook had already begun in the policy update in 2016, only then there wasn’t a momentum for switching away from big tech. No point in sticking with you when Signal keeps messages encrypted PLUS no metadata logs, let alone sharing. There’s still a massive user base now on WhatsApp but won’t be long, at least not for privacy conscious users. After all the same founder of WhatsApp made Signal too. Facebook ruins everything it touches. Learn the lessons

Wow so private!. If there was ever an equivalent of social services that took words away while they were being abused then WhatsApp would have the word ‘private’ in front of a child psychologist showing the nice lady where exactly on the toy smartphone it was that weird Uncle WhatsApp took photos of them without their knowledge and sold the offer to data to his all of sweaty golfing buddies. That’s before the child psychologist smashes the toy on the ground and forgets about the whole 'tortured simile' thing, and having a sticky beak by scrolling down there ⤹ ~<(* ) and looking at all the information WhatsApp thinks it deserves - like a couch surfing room mate asking clarifiers during a family emergency. Here's a better idea: Don't download it! Because the fact you need to scroll down at all to check what data an app employing the word ‘private’ (in its product heading no less) is demanding is like - shoving a mango scented marker pen up your nostril and then checking the back of the box to determine how many servings of your daily recommended fruit intake it just counted as.

Badges… fix your app, Meta!!!!. Unread messages badges still disappear if you open the app and then close the app before you open the message within the app. Even worse, if you are chatting to someone and you receive a message in another chat but close the app before you read it, there are never any badges on the app on the home screen! And before I have a Karen telling me to check my notification settings, it has nothing to do with that. The badges work, they just disappear before the messages are being read. This is a known software fault in WhatsApp. It’s been broken for years and there are thousands of people reporting the same issue. I remain unsatisfied by the this app and Meta.

Whatsapp backup password prompt countdown needed. I have an issue with the disabling of the main Whatsapp system when the password for Backups is being requested. Not me specifically but some elderly family members who were out and about suddenly couldnt use Whatsapp to communicate without having to recall their password (which they didnt have at hand, so effectively lost whatsapp for several hours) There should be a warning or a countdown to let you know the prompt is going to happen shortly, but doesn’t immediately disable whatsapp.

Add photo info!. Hi WhatsApp, This app is really great, I use it everyday and is exactly what I need! It is a basic app for messaging, but with so many advanced features! However, I think a really good improvement for this app would be to have information on photos you send. So if you click on your photo either on a chat or status, you can find out who saved or took a screenshot of it. This would be very beneficial for many users, and enhance the app even more! One more thing that would be great to be able to do is delete photos, even if everyone has viewed it. Every person I’ve talked to wants this feature, and it would be helpful for personal, non business related chats. So once everyone has viewed it, you could still go back and delete it before more people save it. I would love to see these as an addition for WhatsApp, as it is such a great app! Thanks for your time!

Can you please explain. When we have to update whatsapp how come we go on the App Store and it says this app does not updating I don’t know if this is only my phone or this happens to some one else but could you please fix this and also when our phone is ringing why do we have to open whatsapp to answer a call why can’t we just answer the call outside of whatsapp Overall your app is amazing but if you could fix these things then I would be very grateful

What’s app review from Renjith Rajagopalan. What’s app from its invention in 2009 has become one of the most frequently used applications in smart phones. It provides the range for regular chatting, voice calling and live video calling domestically and around the world in every nation internationally. The service has maximized communication between human souls in an efficient and elegant manner. People have saved on millions of dollars in landline and mobile phone bills through this system. The techniques are grasped well by people of all age groups. And the following of global celebrities and various industries and associations is made easier through various groups within what’s app. The revival of the golden era music alongside educational reminders happens in brilliant videos over what’s app.

Great app. Needs more archiving options.. I love this app to keep in contact with overseas friend and family. It would be great to be able to permanently archive an active group chat. Turning off notifications and muting the chat helps as long as you’re not actually using the app. However if you’re using it the number of messages still appears next to the chat and the chat always stays at the top of your list. The only other way to not see the chat is to leave the group which can be awkward. Please make this a feature in the next version. And also a way to organise chats under different categories/tabs would be awesome.

Additional feature?. Hi developers! WhatsApp is super useful, it’s my go-to messaging platform. I use it almost daily, and have rarely ever had problems with it. Clean, simple, easy to use, aesthetically pleasing interface, WhatsApp is great in a lot of ways. One of my issues with WhatsApp, however great it may be, is that the features regarding image sending and editing is extremely simple. I understand that you don’t want to make it too complicated, it is a messaging platform and not an art platform after all. However, I’ve noticed that when trying to mark up images and draw on them I’ll often have a particular colour that I used that I want to reuse, but there is no tool to grab a colour and use it again, and this has been quite frustrating. I’m not saying that you should incorporate extravagant colour pickers or a way to save old colours, that’s unnecessary. I just think it would be extremely beneficial to include a button (perhaps an eye dropper) below the colours that you can use to pick colours from an image or previous lines to match. I’d really appreciate your consideration, as I think it would be very useful. :) Thanks

Required modifications like GBWhatsap. Why official WhatsApp don’t offer the features that are available in GB WhatsApp? The modifications I heard in GB WhatsApp is very convenient for users as they provide modifications like reverting the deleted messages, status seen without coming in the list of viewers, changing wallpapers for individual chats etc. I haven’t used it yet as it will be illegal I think to use the modification of original app. But I really hope that WhatsApp could update some coolest features in its new updates as today the most young generation tries to find those modifications in GB WhatsApp and got tricked by fake websites offering those features. Very few in real get success in installing the legitimate go whatsapp.

I hate whatsapp. Today was a terrible day. i had gone to a friends house and wanted to check whatsapp to see if my mum had texted me and when i pressed it it glitched me out. i tried for a good 10 minutes and even tried going in after an hour. i didn’t even have any other apps open in my phone. i restarted my phone and offloaded the app but that didn’t work so i deleted tha app and even that didn’t work. so i decided to wait till i got home. on the car ride home i found 3 of my other friends who were at home all day had the same experience and 1 even lost ALL her chats when hers stared working. mine just started working and i’ve lost a months worth of chats and i am so disappointed. this used to happen to my phone every monday for a month and i lost 1 weeks worths of chats (this was around march). then my whatsapp updated so im guessing that was the reason. but today was different. it wasn’t just my phone. whatsapp what is this and why did it happen?

Great app but international?. I have done a bit of research on whether whatsapp is free internationally. I am still too unsure that i won’t be charged, and i find the app’s description to be very inconclusive. It says INTERNATIONAL CALLS AND TEXTING FREE but it has the * symbol. Then you scroll down and it says *Data charges may apply. What the hell does that even mean? I’m tired of searching for the true answer and I don’t want to take the chance and lose money. There is no conclusive answer anywhere. I would like to be able to move past instagram dms and talk to my friend internationally using my mobile data, because using my mobile data to go on instagram takes up a lot more data than going on whatsapp. Please can you give me a straight answer?? I would really like to contact my friend more often. Thank you very much, Isabeau (note: this app has been very good for all my other friends who live in australia and my city, especially contacting those who have androids, or just catching up with old school friends in a group chat. I love using whatsapp I would just like to know about the international thing.)

Great for overseas however..... This app is brilliant for overseas travelling and holidays, or just to message friends and family in other countries, as it doesn't need the use of mobile data, only wifi. This could be even better if it didn't need wifi because you could use it out and about. And with a multiple photo selection because one at a time is very hard for large amounts. Overall it is great. I am using it to message family while I am away in another country. I have wifi and it uses no mobile data unless you choose :))

It needs to have iPad cross platform. I love this app, I didn’t use it a while ago but I really think it’s great. I recommended it to a friend and she got it to and also like it. But I only have one problem it doesn’t allow iPads to get the app. Now I have a phone but at the moment I want to be able to use my iPad which for starters has a much bigger screen and allows for more movement. Even when u tried to use an airdrop to try to get it on my iPad it didn’t work. I think getting it on iPad would be great and then my other friends can also get it cause most of them use iPads

Vert. 6 Aug 2018. Love the app, but have found that Siri does not work with this app. When asking Siri to send a message to a contact using WhatsApp the reply is always the same “ mmmm couldn’t find Pat or John or whoever in your WhatsApp contacts” It doesn’t matter which contact name I choose it’s always the same reply. I have checked all my settings, given WhatsApp access to my contacts but still Siri, comes back with the same response. I thought at first it might be my phone (iPhone 6) but after trying it on my friends phone (iPhone 6) same thing Siri could not send a message or ring a contact using WhatsApp on her phone. On her phone the response was the same. I have tried different ways of asking Siri the question. 1. Using WhatsApp ring Pat. 2. Ring John using WhatsApp 3. Dial John using WhatsApp 4. Using WhatsApp dial Steve 5. Using WhatsApp call Steve. 6. Call Home using WhatsApp But I get the same answer “Sorry WhatsApp couldn’t find John in your contacts who would you like to call?” 😪 Regards: Trev

Great but needs more flexibility. Could you please add more mute settings?? A 24 hour and a 48 hour option would be amazing - 8 hrs to a week is a bit too far of a jump, and not really practical. For example, 48 hours would allow me to mute my work conversation on my days off, allowing me to separate more for my mental health. Right now, my options are mute for a week and risk forgetting to unmute it in time for my next shift, or having to repeatedly mute for 8 hours over my days off if I want some separation, becoming more stressed every time I do - it’s one extreme or the other. Please, some more options would be wonderful. Thank you.

Change the default setting of automatically downloading all images into your photo album for on iOS. This feature has been one of the most annoying aspects of WhatsApp. Everytime you download WhatsApp on your device, you are always subject to the default settings when saving your data on your device One of this features is how by default WhatsApp will download any image or video shared in any conversation which you are apart of into your camera roll photo album. This results in images and video which I do not possess appearing into your camera roll. The reason why I don’t like this is because you are not in control of what people share and it doesn’t mean you want their content saved in your camera roll. It’s particularly annoying with GIFs or Memes which are not actually funny and rather offensive. I would like Facebook INC to change this feature to do not download all images and video from conversation as the default preference.

Whatsapp update experience. When you alert your customers that there is a new version, and the current version is about to expire, and you provide a hyperlink for the customer to press thinking that it will take them to the AppStore to update said version, please ensure that link actually works in redirecting customers to the AppStore to update the app. Instead, all it did was exit the app and customers then needed to open AppStore and search for the app… Really frustrating and not helpful. Please improve the experience for the next one.

Disappearing Messages in Group Chats…. Hello Team, We now have Disappearing Messages feature in WhatsApp, where we can set the older messages to auto-disappear after a certain time duration. In Group Chats, once it is set, this gets set for the complete group, I.e., all members of that group. Now, a certain Group Chat can have LESS importance for few Members, and can have MORE importance for other Members. Members in first category want the messages to Disappear, but the members second category do NOT want the messages to Disappear. So, suggestion is, is it possible to enhance the feature, so that individuals in the Group Chat can set their own Message Disappear timeline preference based on their need, without affecting the other members of the group. It’ll be similar to “Delete For You” and “Delete For Everyone” options available while deleting a post in the Group Chats. Happy to clarify, if there are any queries. Regards, Sumant

NEW STATUS FEATURE!!!. I have been an ardent user of WhatsApp since its inception and I have always enjoyed it and given very good reviews and also don’t miss an opportunity to recommend to friends and family. This recent status update has been a PAIN FOR ME as it is one of the features that made WhatsApp unique from other instant messengers. Please change the status update back to the vertical arrangement as against this new horizontal arrangement. IT’S DRIVING ME AND MOST USERS CRAZY!!!!! Thank you. I would have give it a 5 star rating but this update is why I am rating it a 2.

Terrible, terrible support.. Im on holiday and reliant on whatsapp to communicate with agents, hotels, hosts, fellow travellers etc. this app has banned me 5 times in two weeks with no explanation as to why, ive sent less than a dozen messages to 4 users. Their customer support sends autogenerated responses that dont address my problem. Im unbanned and them banned again within a day or two, with no explanation or cause. This has been incredibly disruptive to my trip and its a real shame this app is so ubiquitous when its treating its customers so poorly. Update: I’m now in my 8th ban for “spam”, im banned immediately each time i send my first message to any number. I am just trying to reach out to hotels, travel agents etc while travelling. Im doing nothing untoward or remotely spammy. Each time ive been unbanned 24hrs later and it is explained as an “accident”, then i am immediately rebanned. No human support to help me, just the same loop of dealing with robots. Im in a foreign country and unable to talk to many businesses and services who exclusively use this terrible app putting my safety at risk.

Add a ‘like’ button, give option of prioritising some notifications over others. It would be really great if you could use an emoji /thumbs up etc symbol to agree to someone. Instead, if you’re in a big group, you get every tiny boring notification just because someone needed to show they agreed with something, when you could have had just something like a ‘like’ button. The consonant notifications in group chats are very annoying. I know you can mute, but you never know if something is important or not until you’ve read it. If you made a like button and then an option to mute notifications for reactions (likes, dislikes etc), it would make this app a lot better, thank you.

Assigning Purchased Ringtones. I am writing this because,, the suggestion from Apple support, which was to provide feedback, lead me to the App & it’s, Auto Bott’s suggestions for resolving the issue. The issue- Not being able to assign a Purchased Ringtone to contacts on WhatsApp. This had already been established in my discussion with Apple support. 5 BIG ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️for great support by 🍏. Sadly, “Meta” chose to not be supportive. Not a big surprise, not even a little surprise.🤨😔🙄 It’s yet another example of a organisation who believes that, it can treat people with contempt. All I wanted to do was provide feedback that would, in the opinion of both myself and the 🍏support team, added another beneficial feature to the app. Maybe 🤔 they might read their reviews, let’s hope they do. 🤞🏼🙄🤷‍♀️……….

It’s good and nobody is gonna read this. WhatsApp is good and better for sending stuff quickly but it has slight problems such as when I send a photo it goes all blurry and pixelated also it doesn’t say when someone downloads an image that you send which could be a problem for some people Wow hello someone is actually reading my review that’s ✨✨✨amazing ✨✨✨ because you’ve made it here HIII your amazing I would totally give you my number so you can talk to me on WhatsApp but you know stranger danger BYEEEEE 🏠🏡🏘️🏚️🏗️🏭🏢🏬🏣🏤🏥🏦🏨🏪🏫🏩💒🏛️⛪️🕌🕍🛕🕋⛩️🛤️🛣️🗾🎑🏞️🌅🌇🎆🎇🌠🌄🌆🏙️🌃🌌🌉🌁

Great but room for improvement. I use Whatsapp all the time to communicate with family and friends around the world. It’s incredibly convenient and simple and for the most part, has been an absolute pleasure to use. With the latest IOS 11 update however, I’ve noticed the app has become a lot more laggy - particularly when I’m typing a message and I switch to and from the emoji keyboard. The app will often freeze for 15-20 seconds as soon as I have switched from one or the other which I am finding terribly annoying. I would also love if we were able to use Whatsapp on a computer without it needing to be synced to your phone in order to function. Other messaging apps (iMessage, Facebook Messenger, LINE, Kakaotalk) allow this - what’s up, Whatsapp? Otherwise a great app. A couple of minor improvements could be made but it is useful nonetheless. Probably my most-used app!

When used for good and not evil is a great communication tool. The old saying ‘it takes two to tango’ sums up my stance regarding using this app.. although it may be used slightly out of context, my experience has highlighted that the messaging/responses/and sometimes forwarded conversations or even altered images really can’t beat a face to face conversation (IRL or video chat if you must). Dealing with another 3 or 4 understudy’s in the wings, idling the shadows (like a peeping Tom, Mark or {insert name here} highlights both the good and bad points of some of the security features in place within Whatsapp. Suppose that’s what I signed up somehow in the fine print of terms and conditions. 🤫🤓🤪

Switching between phones!. Hi! Undoubtedly this app is something part of our daily life now and after all these years of technological advancement - it’s a shame that transferring from an old iPhone to new one could so painful !! Whatever the app suggests doesn’t match the reality at all and it’s a very very annoying feel given other popular app like such of WeChat was so quick and easy between the phones to transfer ! I did back up on iCloud and some messages / group chats are missing when transferred but then i had to fall back to old phone - reinstall and get on with usual business chats. I request the concern people to address this issue urgently & see how to make UX of this particular feature more reliable and practical . Thank you and best of luck !

The app keeps kicking me out. I use to love this app it been at least 3 years since I first started using WhatsApp but yesterday I posted a lot of stuff on my WhatsApp channel. When I finally stopped posting stuff I didn’t use my phone for like a few hours. I few hours later I got a notification from one of my friends so I went on the app and it took me back to my home page I opened the app again and it did the same thing. So I tried restarting my phone and it didn’t work again!!!! Then I went on Apple Store to update the app but when it was done updating I try opening the app again and it kicked me back to my home page again😢 and also can u please fix the avatar they look weird. Anyway I always loved this app but if u can fix this bug I would really be happy 😃 Thank you for reading this really long review and hope you can fix it 😉

Harvest personal data. The latest update will harvest all your personal data to facebook

Becoz of new privacy policy. No privacy

The same stupid thing of every month. Lots of updates every week for nothing, this is the same app since beginning. Don’t update it anymore if you do not have absolutely nothing to update.

Massive privacy concerns. If you want to share all your data with Facebook and their partners go ahead. I’m deleting this. It’s your information, don’t be the product. There are better, more secure apps.

Needs dark mode. This app seriously needs the option for dark mode. How does it not already. Please update this app to have it. It took apple a long time to finally develop a dark mode option yet it’s taking even longer for this app. It’s almost 2020, get with the times.

Where’s dark mode?. It works fine. But where’s dark mode? Surely it can’t take this long to implement it? The app sticks out like a sore thumb.

Unsafe. Facebook introduces a new mandatory update to give away even more data of yourself that they can sell. Disgusting.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks WhatsApp team.....

Privacy Policy. It’s not new for any social media app for Data collection but, whatsapp should have give a option to opt that it didn’t.

Privacy concerns. Unfortunately, cannot continue given the new privacy terms coming into effect on Feb 8th.

Facebook: It’s not my job to make your business model work. Simple: my data is mine. You forcibly make me disclose it to serve your business model? I’m not a vehicle to make you more money. Everyone - use “signal” if you want an iMessage alternative.

Recommendation. Bring the dark mode in whatsapp too....!!!!!!

Absolutely deplorable terms of service. Monolithic companies like this must be shut down. No reason for a user to trust them anymore.

Missed Call. New updated.. I cannot receive missed call notification...

Worst app, and data stealer. I’m a what’s app user since 2012. I’m uninstalling now bcz they trying steal my data and share with Facebook. Don’t install this app.

Emojis. I think this app is WONDERFUL! But there is some emojis missing, for exemple the GIRAFFE emoji! Some people like me, love giraffes! So please, can you make an emoji giraffe?

Facebook ruined it. Was great, but sharing data with Facebook is a no from me.

Morally bankrupt. Facebook's privacy policy is incrementally getting worse and eroding user trust. I don't wany personal messaging to be used for Facebook's advertising or their shady agenda of political manipulation.

Compromising personal data.. Compromising personal data without consent.

WhatsApp. I love WhatsApp so much I would recommend it to everyone I give it 5 star rating for chatting app’s

No support for dark theme. Support iOS 13 dark theme.

Privacy policy change. No longer face the option to block Facebook from sharing data with WhatsApp. No longer using this app. Breach of privacy

Dual account support for iPhone XS/ xs max. Please bring in options to run two accounts on 1 phone as the phone is dual sim itself

Oct 30th still waiting for dark mode. Where is dark mode? Why is it not compatible with ios native dark mode and why does the app not have an in app dark mode toggle? Did Whatsapp miss the global memo?

I don’t want to share my data with fb. I don’t want to share my data with, I’ll be moving to signal

Delete it NOW!. Whatsapp is selling your data and using your private chats and photos for god knows what delete it and move to signal NOW

Could not pass initial setup. Cannot send SMS to my phone. This really deserves O stars

Invasive much?!. I don’t even use Facebook and don’t want them to have any of my info....ever!

Not secure. It is not secure

Zero stars. Zero stars for forcing us to share data with Facebook. Switching to Signal after 10+ years with WhatsApp. What a shame!

What's Up with WhatsApp?. Current version is crashing to Home screen repeatedly.

No more privacy. Great and amazing experience until the new privacy policy comes in effect which gonna snatch privacy Starting switching to other app

Dark mode on ios 13. Apple has introduced dark mode in iOS 13. Pls implement dark mode functionality in WhatsApp too that can get controlled by the OS level feature.

Facebook data grab. On the 8th of Jan 2021 Facebook changed the terms of service for existing users with a popup that went no way to describing the massive data grab (Facebook now have access to your contacts, numbers etc) that users were promised wouldn’t happen when they acquired the app.

Overreaching privacy policy. Asks for far to much personal information.

Go to hell :). Thanks to the new privacy policy, we are done with the most boring messengers app in the world!

No Privacy. After I had to accept them getting my contact info, locations and all that stuff I deleted it. I’m not on any social media platform except for Signal now. At least Signal stays encrypted and doesn’t want my info.

DARK MODE PLEASE IOS 13. Please can we get a dark mode for iOS 13 ASAP

Complaint about the new privacy policy. The new privacy policy requires every user to share their data with Facebook and they don’t have an option to opt-out! We have the right to decide what data we want to share and what we don’t! I know WhatsApp is a very widely used application but what Facebook is doing is not right!

Cut Ties With Oppressors. Switching to better alternatives like Signal. Whatsapp and it’s connection to Facebook’s deal with Jio in India supports those that oppress of minorities - this is not something I can support.

Worst privacy policy. I don’t want you to share my data with any other app, I am going to uninstall your app!

Great policy. With the addition of their updated policy where they sell all user info to their daddy Zucky, Whatsapp/Facebook are now the worst app an individual can have. Absolutely disgraceful

New privacy agreement. Please comment on new privacy regulation. Why so much sharing of information feel like our messages, data, all the information is not safe on whats ap.

Now shares data with Facebook. The new policy change has user data shared with Facebook. I suppose it was inevitable, but a hard pass for me. Uninstalled.

Pure crap’ fact that we have to deal with fb as well. I’m annoyed that WhatsApp data is being shared on Facebook, some of us like privacy what kind of nonsense is that.

Spyware. Owned by Facebook so you know they’re spying on you.

New update Terms and Privacy Policy. I uninstalled the app. I don’t want to share anything from WhatsApp to Facebook.

Privacy thieves. With this new and stupid decision to crap on our privacy. Goodbye WhatsApp and goodbye Facebook altogether

Recommendation. One annoying thing with whatsapp is the absence of control over accepting a group invitation. Anyone can create a group and add you , giving you no choice to accept or decline . Additionally, the option to block a group just like u block a single user should be available.

Facebook Is Spying on You. WhatsApp is no longer viable for privacy purposes. They’re going to start collecting your metadata as of Feb 2021.

Restoring to new iPhone from a backup lost all WhatsApp names on the contacts leaving only phone num. Got a new iPhone 16 and restored from a backup of my old iPhone.. but WhatsApp contacts we left without the names and only the contact numbers. When I tried to edit the contacts in WhatsApp it added back in my friend’s name about 10 times. The next thing I knew, WhatsApp removed my account from the app from my new phone. And it said I had been banned for something it called.” scraping.” or harvesting phone numbers or data. I never did any scraping or harvesting of data from the app. The only information I added was the names to the contact that only had phone numbers so I could keep my friends straight. Something is screwy with this app.

I have a huge problem with this app. Ok whatsapp why are so you put exit when you have no space literally what if yo have no service I literally had no service and then your like oh no space exit what if someone has a problem and needs my help then I fixed that problem and deleted photos but then I noticed when I clicked on camera or mic it says to go to setting to enable it and I never unable it and then it takes me to the setting where it says WhatsApp and it says nothing to enable a camera I search it up and it says to go to some photo thing so I can turn it on WhatsApp the photos and mic and it shows nothing all it shows is apps that have requested to access to you will appear hear please fix this I did nothing to WhatsApp I like it but this is frustrating

Full communication…period. This was my first time purchasing with this company, and because I am a beginner with wigs I chose wigs that I should maybe have waited for the opinion of My teenage daughter, L O L the bottom line is when I returned. The three weeks was concerned with how the return process worked. From the initiation up until at this point, I’m in the phase of inspection, there has been full communication with this company in regards to the return. This communication was so strong and positive. It invited me to buy another wig which I love and now I am ordering more wigs, thank you very much for a positive experience. This is the site my daughter swears by and truthfully after she finished with her wigs, she gives them to me and I love them all so now I am buying for myself. You are awesome.

Not good for businesses. New user. My account has been put under review 4 times in less than 2 weeks. I understand that it is an automatic feature when an account is displaying multiple messages and adding a lot of contacts. It seems like spam. However, this is for my business. Therefore I am adding people who work with me (90+ contacts). Every few or so people I add, I get put under review with no access to my messages for 24 hours. When I attempt to get in touch with any admin or official with WhatsApp, there’s no email, no phone number, nothing. When put in review, you are able to leave a message with them. Though I highly doubt they see it because I’ve left a message every time and have not heard from anyone, nor has this been resolved. Again, I understand why i am repeatedly put in review. However, if someone from the WhatsApp team would at least try to help resolve this issue, I’d be happy to continue to use the app.

Banning actual accounts. I’ve used WhatsApp before to talk with classmates while in emt school. Now I got a new number and had to remake a whole new account as it wouldn’t let me login to my previous account without that phone number for verification purposes. I created the new account without my new number and have tried messaging someone and every time I send one message even though all I said was “hi” my account had been banned. After some hours they allowed me to reactivate my account but that same thing has happened 3/4 times it’s frustrating. I contacted customer service every time and never hear anything back except for the last time I was able to reactivate and then message them directly though my account only for them to tell me no issues were found with my account… if no issues have been found why do you keep banning my account after any message I send? Idk how to fix this issue as I never hear back from customer service about how to keep it from happening again.

Banning Of Numbers. I was using WhatsApp alright until i woke up one morning to meet the message that my number has been banned from using WhatsApp. I haven’t downloaded any third party apps and my account is free of scam or any form of spam. No one has reported my account either and all of a sudden my number has been banned. I requested a review but was told there is nothing they can do about it and they had no reason to give to me as well for banning my number from WhatsApp. The only option i have now is to sign up with a new number and this apparently that means i’ll loose my previous texts and chats with friends from my contact and this is really bad!! I tried signing up again with the same number and I was told to wait for 12 hours to be able to verify my number with the one time password (OTP). Even after waiting all that while, I still couldn’t get my account unbanned and I’ve sent various emails to the support team but still no positive feedback. Where is the Credibility??

Not impressed. I recently bought an iPhone 14 pro max! I switched from a Samsung galaxy note! In my world I am American and my wife is Dominican! We use WhatsApp daily to speak to one another! Often I copy and paste in conversation because my Spanish is mediocre at best! I itch my Samsung phone I could copy multiple messages at one time and paste to my translator to keep up with the pace of conversation! With Apple that piece of functionality isn’t there! I just don’t think the Apple people understand or have done enough research as to why certain things are important. To copy one message at a time has brought our conversations back to the stone ages! I really like my iPhone! But this is consistent in many applications but it really means something when using WhatsApp!

WhatsApp freezing on iPhone X. recently I've been having some trouble with it on my iPhone X. It freezes once I open it and no matter how long I wait for, it doesn't unfreeze. Force quitting the app, restarting my phone of powering the phone off then putting it back on after some time doesn't help. sometimes have a few seconds after relaunching it to move around before it freezes again and that It helped me resolve it the first time it happened by deleting over 40 GB of media from chats. Now it's started freezing on launch again and I can't even successfully delete any media from my WhatsApp to try to fix it. have a lit of free space on my phone by the way, so I'm not sure what the cause is. It happens so suddenly. One moment I'm using it, the next moment, it won't work no matter what. still see the notifications from messages coming in, but can't do anything about them.

Scammers willing romantic messages and scams. I recently having what’s app and have a lot of messages wanting to be friends. First I just want to talked when I’m free, but after for 1 Months chatting then she started advices to make some money by investing in Crypto Currency by deposit in 3k for it and you will make about $100/per day, so of course first weeks you will see the investment increase and after that she will ask put some more fund in to increase up to 10k and you will make $425 per day and almost 14k per month and it’s looking good but after went to withdraw out there will be all kind of fee you will have to pay and some of secure application need to be approved if you want withdrawal to your bank account with in 48hrs and that’s never happened. Don’t ever listen to it specifically person I met is Chinese and all the system they’re all Chinese and they are in United State and HK they’ll have all Chinese girls willing make friend and trapped you in. Don’t be like me I warned all perso whoever is need to be careful..

TAG FEATURE SHOULD BE ADDED WHEN UPLOADING ON STATUS.. I’ll suggest that contact should be able to tag people on their status , because sometimes people upload your pictures and you don’t end up seeing it within 24hrs when it disappears ... but if a tag feature is added , I can easily upload a picture and tag whosoever is in it and even though he doesn’t end up viewing all his contact status he will definitely see mine and I get a “thank you” This happens mostly on birthdays when a lot of people upload a picture of you and you can’t view all contact status to know who and who uploaded your picture so you can thank them... but with this tag feature ... contacts can tag who is in his/her story and the person get to see it ... Thank you

Two days of trying to download -zero stars. We planned to use it for communication for a student trip. For 2 days the app has sent everyone in a circle. It gives the message, “App can’t send an SMS to your number try again in 1 hour, check your number. Tried selecting the Call option and received your phone number can’t be called try again in an hour.” I have attempted all of the trouble shooting Ideas from the help screen without a change. My daughter stated it took her 3 days of trying through this messaging to get the App installed. This is beyond frustrating we had 11 different parents trying to get the APP and we all had this problem. I have heard people love WhatsApp but when it can’t be downloaded and takes this much effort and time something is wrong and given there are more than 5 of us having the problem, I am safely going to assume it is not me. I emailed for support and didn’t get an answer. When you can’t get by the first page the APP doesn’t work.

Just a minor issue that’s really problematic. Sometimes my messages can’t go through on time and it’s takes forever for them to receive it. When I text my friends who own Samsung devices, the message won’t go through even though they’re still online. It usually takes about 3 to 2 minutes for the other person to read my message(s). What really bugs me is that once it shows *last seen today at (time)* the message that I’ve sent is delivered, and it’s would show the double check mark. So the person who I sent a message to would only get it if they exit out the app. Plus, no matter how much messages you send to that person, they will never receive it until they exit out of WhatsApp. Please fix this issue🙏🏼. It makes it really hard to communicate, even when it’s an emergency.

Eh! I guess it’s good for someone else.. I don’t particularly like the way they do things on this platform. They claim to be secure and all but they are way up in your business for the most part and they are really rude to you if you need help with anything. To me they are just another version of Big Brother like the rest of their platforms are. I barely use any of them anymore because they have a funny way of seeing things that are really important to me. I know that in my country life used to be extremely racist and misogynistic etc but at least we had a little privacy and freedom. Or maybe I am not remembering it correctly. I don’t know, I just don’t feel like I have any of those things on these apps. I’m not even allowed to use profanity in front of an AI! I mean, come on! It’s a machine! I’m sure glad to know we’re about to ascend into the 5th dimension and out of this matrix. Lol I hope it doesn’t get worse than this one.

my account was banned and I was not told why.. I was preparing for international travel and attempted to make a groupchat with my family members so I could stay in contact. Suddenly the app becomes unusable and I’m presented with a message that my account can no longer use WhatsApp, with an option to submit a request for review. I was never even told why my account was banned in the first place, so how am I supposed to know what to say in my request?? I submit my request which just said “I don’t know why I’m banned” and it says that reviews take around 24 hours. I’m not going to be in the country in 24 hours!! and I was never told what I did wrong!! I tried contacting customer support and there is no phone number. I had to submit an email request for help. The email I received in response basically said “we know you want to remove the ban on your account, but your review will take 24 hours. Don’t respond to this email.” how am I supposed to get support if I can’t talk to anyone, even by email?? The app says that my chats are still available on this device, but if this is true I have no way to access them on the app. I can’t even look at chat history. TLDR: my account was banned and I was never informed why, customer support was essentially nonexistent, and I have to wait 24 hours to see if my appeal will even go through. I’m leaving the country in 12 hours and will have no way to contact anyone. I am thoroughly frustrated.

WhatsApp account. Last Saturday me and my friend were in my house. I was doing some English warm-up test on my iPad. I saw a problem I couldn’t solve so I went and opened up to ask my mom for the answer while I was opening up I saw my friend was giggling when I opened WhatsApp, I saw that my account was blocked. So I asked my friend. Did you do anything? Have your removed up service? What did you do? He just kept on laughing. So got mad and told him to leave so I am asking you now can you please recover my account? This account is monitored by my parents. I use it for school and this is my one and only account I need this for school. Work and homework and to keep in touch with my school management and my private tutor. So please I need your support to recover my account. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Bashar

Surprise Chats and Chat Groups Annoy. I do not like it that anonymous chats and chat groups can, and do, invade my WhatsApp installation. Recently, I received a whole chat group allegedly from the Goldman Sachs investment firm containing several chats probably about investment through the group. When I tried to delete the group, I was informed that you cannot delete a group, only archive it. I was so angry that deleted my WhatsApp icon entirely. Further, I learned that Goldman Sachs does not elicit investment business through WhatsApp! These are criminals trying to talk anonymous clients into sending them money. I think that any attempted insertion of an pop-up anonymous chat should be checkable by me, the account owner and receiver, whether it is to be installed yes or no. Then I could delete these proposed chats immediately when they arrive. If there is such a restriction available in the Settings, I have not found it.

New update needs a new update. The new update has made it difficult for those with visual impairments to comfortably use it or has made it so they will ultimately choose to not use it at all. It needs an option to go from the dark version to a light version. The color blocking for the chat list being changed has heavily affected to ability for some to see the separation clearly. There needs to be a better way to report said issues. The AI is great in most cases but there should be an option for live personnel to eventually provide proper customer support when AI isn’t capable of giving the users the resolve they are looking for. Before this update WhatsApp was a 5 star for myself and those close to me. But this update quickly changed that. I’ll gladly remove my 1 star and update it to a better review based on how this review is received. Thank you to anyone reading this and has a hand in a fix for users with the same issue. It’s will be greatly appreciated 🙏

This app changed my life (EMOTIONAL). I couldn’t communicate with the love of my life on the other side of the world for 30 years after I met him in a book store in Canada after he left. On my 81st birthday my grand children said “Look what we got you for Christmas grandpa!” And they handed me a Samsung iPad with what app on it connected to my lover’s neuro link and I’ve been able to call text and face time her ever since! The Ai assistant feature has helped me brain build things to send them such as a zip file containing several million word AI summaries of every member of my immediate and extended family which he has been so busy reading for the past year he hasn’t been able to even talk back! Nonetheless I still fall deeper in love with home every single day.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Not so excellent. WhatsApp has been one of the most reliable messaging apps for years. The interface is simple, clean, and easy to use, making it accessible for all types of users. Features like voice and video calls, group chats, and file sharing work smoothly most of the time, and end-to-end encryption adds a strong sense of privacy and security. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. Backup and restore processes, especially when switching devices, can be frustrating and time-consuming. The app also tends to consume a lot of storage due to media files, and managing that isn’t always convenient. Occasionally, there are bugs or delays in notifications as well. Overall, WhatsApp is still a must-have app for communication, but with a few updates and optimizations, it could be significantly better.

Continuously banned. I downloaded this app very recently for my school and I am repeatedly getting banned every time I send a chat to a group. I have reviewed the guidelines for use and have done nothing to violate them, yet I continue to get banned. I reached out to WhatsApp for help with this issue, and they sent me back an AI-generated response that said: “To resolve this issue, you can try to review the "Acceptable Use of Our Services" section of our Terms of Service to learn more about the appropriate uses of WhatsApp”. This was very frustrating because I know I did not violate any guidelines, and also because I know the company did not take the time to read my review and try to resolve the issue. This is evidenced by the AI response and repeated banning of my account, which they took no time to fix or actually attempt to help me. I have been banned 3 times over the course of half a week, with two in the same day. I will not be recommending WhatsApp to anyone if this continues, nor will I be continuing to use the app myself.

You are over bloating the application than what it is!!!. WhatsApp has always been an application that felt more private and more straightforward for communication with close family and friends. You adding channels, overly forced AI, changing the order statuses show and so on application is overkilling the application. Some of these features are not necessary. Especially when you have dedicated applications for such activities. Please carefully review this, I know you are trying to capitalize on having users on the application to add other features that should be in other applications than this one. If you another application pop up or others gain popularity with them not overly bloating their app, a large number of people will leave WhatsApp for it. I just updated my app and saw a meta AI floating button, like what do we need this? SMH. If someone wants to use an AI, they know where to go. Secondly as Apple is pushing its OS level AI, do you think having this features baked into your application will be necessary? It will make it obsolete. Your team should stop doing it. There so much an application can do that relates to a goal and phone screen Real estate. This is not a desktop application. You are forcing these features on the users and there is a breaking point to such activities. My advice will be to just have a contact that is the meta AI that people can chat with and ask it to do things. This is not over bearing.

Love Everything except.... WhatsApp is an amazing chatting app that conveniently connects you to a broad chat base of your family & loved ones, friends and acquaintances alike at a quick setup without having to generate unique ways to connect with each other. It has a plethora of other cool features like ability to make voice and video calls etc. and now even make payments to each other for a dinner you shared but did not pay for... BUT all this power without the possibility to lock the app or have a password access is a waste of opportunity to complete the offering by WhatsApp. I really feel THEY ARE RATHER LATE. PASSWORD PROTECT OPTION at starting the app window IS MISSING AND should have been there like yesterday ... it’s a simple feature addition but gives many people the safety they want to protect their communication and today communication is everything!

Best App Ever!. There is not enough text space to write down everything I love about this app, nor do I have the time to write it all down!! Suffice it to say, I wish I could get everyone in my contact list to use this. For work, we have a record of all of our conversations, which in my line of business, this has been a really good thing for us. Also, you can see when the person read the message. Being able to back up conversations to the Cloud has also been useful. One of the things I’m most impressed by the Developors of this app is that they are constantly updating the app with new capabilities. Like I said, there are several things I could continue to write about how much I love this app. Suffice it to say, it’s one of the best Apps in my phone and I’m a hard critic when I comes App reviews.

Stocks 📉📉📉. I had an Instagram for over a decade and in november it was suspended for "fraud". I had never violated any of the community guidelines. I filed several appeals with videos of my face and sent several emails to Instagram support without a response. This was during hurricane Helene disaster in my area and without phone lines this was one of the only ways to contact some people. My Facebook was also disabled as a result. There Was never a response to my suspension and eventually I got an email saying it had been permanently banned again. I've never violated any of the community policies. I created a new Facebook and Instagram account which I have had for less than a month. Twice now, my Instagram account has suspended me from doing certain activities like adding friends or liking and viewing stories. I don't like an excessive amount of stories or comment excessively. I also did not follow a large number of people. I was only trying to follow the ones I had followed previously on my prior Instagram. Today I received another notice that my account has been disabled for fraud. This time it requested not only a video of my face but a picture of my license or ID. I submitted both but I'm not hopeful since I didn't get a response last time. There is clearly an issue with suspending accounts incorrectly, there should be a team to be able to respond and correct this, especially since it's some peoples only form of contact with others.

whatsapp is hands down the best, but for some reason a fatal bug ruined my 6 years of chats forever.. I have been using WhatsApp for 6 years now and the app has been without a doubt basically a Messages V2, but for some reason now I cant place calls or send photos and says i need “permission to access the microphone and camera”. This is a normal thing for me to deal with but for some unholy reason when i was redirected to settings, BOTH the microphone AND camera permission options just—weren’t there. This is ESPECIALLY WEIRD because of the fact no other app was affected and I could still record and send things with my microphone perfectly, and i was forced to delete and reinstall my entire WhatsApp and had to link my icloud contacts back again- except like the microphone and images asked me to turn the sync on. What was funny was that it was clearly already on. So now the message site that everyone uses I cant use because of some random bug that kills everything ever. Would recommend but don’t expect your data to stay.

UPDATES. I am leaving a 1-star review due to my frustration with WhatsApp’s forced update policy. I am perfectly content with the version I currently have, but I am being pressured to update. These updates do not improve the app—in fact, they often make the experience worse. Every time I open the app, I am prompted to update, and when I select the “Learn More” link to understand why updates are mandatory, the app immediately crashes and returns me to my home screen. This issue has persisted to the point where now, when I open WhatsApp, I only see a black screen. I am unable to use the app at all simply because I chose not to update. As a loyal user, I should have the option to decide whether I want to update the app, especially when the updates fail to enhance functionality or add value. Forcing users into updates and then penalizing them for noncompliance—by essentially locking them out of the app—is unacceptable. I strongly urge WhatsApp to reconsider this policy and respect users’ autonomy

Whats the point of this app.. I tried to register, failed many many times. Tried whats app business, registration worked. Following day I’m locked out due to terms of service( I am a business trying to contact another business in China, one would think that this business app would be appropriate since my phone number is a registered business number). It seems when you have whats app business, your not allowed to contact anyone unless you have their permission first. So then I tried to register with normal whats app. Im locked out due to spamming? I send my issue in for review and you guys do allow me to register (deleting my business account). I get a response from the original company I was contacting and I wrote a reply. I’m thinking that all is good and I will have my issues with the company fixed soon. After a few minutes I open the whats app app. I’m locked out again for spamming! I wrote a freakin reply! How is that spamming? How this app has high stars is beyond my knowledge.

I love WhatsApp. I love WhatsApp and use it everyday. I have been using WhatsApp for many years before it became part of Meta. I used it to communicate with people outside of the USA and now I use it when communicating with my boyfriend. He works part of the year on a cruise ship and sometimes he doesn’t have the best cellphone service so we communicate through WiFi and WhatsApp. Before WhatsApp became part of Meta you used to be able to put custom ringtones and text tones for your chats but now you can’t. Also if you want us to only use the tones that automatically come on the phone at least allow us to be able to choose from a list that has all the tones and not just certain ones from that list. Other than that WhatsApp is great and I love it.

It’s a good app but... this is a good app, but I was wondering if there could be a VPN installed within the app for people who are contacting their family members or friends or whoever even loved ones and countries were up is banned such as Iran and also I’ve been trying to transfer my files and send my photos and videos to myself on WhatsApp, but unfortunately it won’t let me send videos longer than a few minutes and I was wondering if you could please change that and allow for the feature to send any video that’s an unlimited amount of hours or minutes because I’m really trying to save up my phone storage and delete the photos and videos but then still have them on WhatsApp as a back up. Thank you.

New Updates Are Trash. First: Before i was able to see the # of people that saw my story without having to log into the actual story….. now I cant… what are you doing? You’re making WhatsApp into a little version of Facebook, did you see how many stars Facebook has on Apple Store? It’s almost -1 on top of the fact you can’t even express yourself cause y’all block our accounts….ridiculous!!!!! Second: I do not want any channels. I stay away from social media not to have to see any of these ridiculous celebrities and their nonsense…. Now i have BadBun ny displayed to be followed…… why? You need to make an option for people to TURN THESE OFF! I didn’t like it on Facebook and I don’t like it here. It’s gotten to the point i don’t even want to have WhatsApp anymore and I’ve had it for over 12 years……. Stop trying to perfect this and perfect the signal and audio/video quality. Some of us are old school and don’t want to look into celebrities…. I only watch my contacts stories…. Third: If you keep adding more “technology” to this app a lot of people will stop using it…. Mark my words…. We liked the SIMPLICITY of the app, how easy it was for us to communicate with our families in other countries…. Now it’s like i said in the first paragraph “a little version of Facebook” we don’t want that….. we want silence and privacy…. Not that we can have all that with y’all anyways…..

Bring Back the Blue Microphone Feature. I’m honestly really disappointed that WhatsApp removed the feature that let you see when someone played your voice message. The little blue microphone was such a simple but useful feature, and this is now the second time WhatsApp has removed it for no reason. I genuinely don’t understand why this keeps getting taken away when so many people actually liked and used it. It helped avoid confusion and let you know whether someone had listened to your audio or not. Now there’s no way to tell, which just makes the app feel less convenient and more frustrating to use. Please bring this feature back permanently instead of removing it every time because it’s annoying as heck.

Status problem. Dear WhatsApp Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have been experiencing with the WhatsApp application on my device. Whenever I open the status bar, the app abruptly shuts down, causing inconvenience and disrupting my overall user experience. I have been a loyal user of WhatsApp for quite some time now, and I have always appreciated its reliability and functionality. However, this recent issue has been causing frustration, as I am unable to view or post status updates without the app closing unexpectedly. I have tried troubleshooting the problem by reinstalling the application, clearing the cache, and updating to the latest version, but unfortunately, the issue persists. This behavior occurs consistently and affects my ability to engage with the status feature, which is an integral part of the app. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter. It would be greatly appreciated if you could investigate the issue and provide a solution or suggest any steps I could take to rectify the problem. I rely on WhatsApp for staying connected with friends, family, and colleagues, and it would be immensely helpful if this issue could be resolved promptly. Please let me know if there are any further details or diagnostic information I can provide to help you identify and resolve the problem. I am eagerly looking forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Plenty of room for improvement. As an avid user of social internet media , I found WhatsApp is lacking in many convenient features offered in other apps. I use Facebook when I want to express some thoughts, events etc. But FB Messenger is not efficient in quick text, so I still resort to 20 years old practice in text msg like in Nokia phones. WhatsApp is subservient to the features offered by WeChat. Understood that WeChat is by Tencent in China, nevertheless the features are amazing. The Moment posting functions are like Facebook post. The conversation wether individual or in chat groups are more user friendly than WhatsApp. It allows recalling a wrong message sent in mistake. Attaching files and emojis are awesome. My only complain is that once viewed in one device the message cannot be reviewed in an other, which FB allows all history conversation once logged in. I lived in America over 47 years. I highly recommend friends to use WeChat for daily contacts over other apps.

.. I've done nothing wrong and WhatsApp is my main messaging and communication app, use it to study, work and most important to keep in contact with my immediate family members who live far from me in another country, i have never done anything illegal or against their policy on there and I'm desperate to get my account back. And I've not used any unofficial app I've always only used the official app. At this point I don't even know yet if it's a permanent or temporary ban I've sent hundreds of emails since this happened more than 6 days ago, l've tried everything I could imagine to get in contact with support and I've not received a single reply. I have not know from my family for days because of this and is starting to frustrate me more, the only option I have left is keep sending messages through Instagram and Facebook as well and even post this here because I don't know what else I can do since this was obviously done by mistake. I cannot change my phone number because this number in linked to way too many sites.

My WhatsApp issues.. I’ve got a lot of problems with my WhatsApp app. First of all why every time i add stories then when I went back and deleted em other people still can see em? Today’s been 3 years since I started using WhatsApp but it still the same why i have to update my WhatsApp app every once in a while? And the main thing I noticed is even when I blocked someone i can read their stories and the can read mine as well sometimes i got very upset and one thing i also noticed is when I’m talking to someone on WhatsApp my background always looks black or blank and it won’t let me do nothing. Please guys do something with this app that will makes everyone happy. I use WhatsApp more than any other apps out here please fix these issues for me. Thank you 🙏🏾

Have an issue witmy whatsapp account. Suddenly i was unable to open the application and I tried again and again but it work and i am ao worried about datas and deleted the application and restored it again and it worked fot one hour and of course all my data history was not in the application and whike I tried again to restore the backup from iCloud it suddenly stopped functioning again and it shows a message that you have been temporarily banned and you will be able to use WhatsApp after six hours and when six hours was over I opened the application and with a minute it again gave the same message you have been temporarily banned and you will be only be able to use WhatsApp after six hours and this is still the same situation I am facing and i am much concerned about my data's last history I have important informations and attachments which I am unable to get back . And actually I am not sure if my account was hacked or it's mistake of WhatsApp.

Incredible. I really love this app. It's incredible how you can talk with anyone around the world without paying actual money. There’s nothing wrong happening with my version, the camera works well and shoots good photos. There are some things that would make this app the best messaging app. The first one is that when you mute a group chat there should be an option that allows you to mute it forever, same goes with the real-time location. When you create a group, others shouldn’t have the option to kick you from the group, and there should be an option to make someone not be an admin without having to kick the person and adding them again. Also, I really want the GIFs to have their own spot so you don’t need to go to Photos and Videos and then click GIFs. Also, make a DRAWING option. Well, that’s all. Thanks for this amazing app.

Needs 1 change. I love this app, but 1 thing I wish they would change is their notification system/inability to get calls when I’m on another cal. Sometimes I’ll be on a phone call from my actual phone, and then when I get off the phone an hour later, and if someone from WhatsApp is trying to call me, it’ll say “Missed Video call from____”. To me, it’s annoying how if I’m automatically on a phone call, the WhatsApp video call won’t go through period. WhatsApp should let the video call go through, so even while I’m on my phone during another phone call, and I see someone calling me, I can answer the other. Sometimes it’s important and I need to answer because it’s family from another country, but I never can because WhatsApp automatically tells them I’m on another call, but doesn’t notify me. Fix it. Please. It works with audio calls, why not do this for video calls too?

Privacy concern. WhatsApp is one of the best messengers, the fastest and most efficient, but I have a problem. I can not stop showing a call made through the application in the search history (spotligth) of the iphone. it doesn't matter from where you delete the call, not even deleting the contact at all from the iPhone, It always appears the last time you called that contact in the spotlight search if you call it with WhatsApp. This phenomenon does not happen with the native application of iPhone calls, deleting them from the history deletes them from everywhere and there is no trace of it in the spotlight search. This little detail does not happen with WhatsApp. I have had personal problems because of it, I hope you know what Iam talking about and solve this. Regards.

Definitely set 2FA !!. Love WhatsApp. Use it more than any other app. 100x better than SMS! However, it recently was hacked. And the person that did it, tried to scam my friends, family and business associates out of money by saying he was me and needed to borrow money. This was the moment I realized whatsapp support was zero help. I sent them messages and they replied with copied text from their FAQ. It was ridiculous. They did help one bit as it almost felt like they were supporting my hacker. Make sure you set your 2FA. And if you get hacked, delete whatsapp and change the SIM card in your phone. Then you have to wait 7-days for the email authentication to reset. My hacker kept resetting it so it actually took a lot longer. C’mon whatsapp! Figure out how to shut these guys down. Use the power of Facebook and figure it out!

Still not syncing contacts since iOS update months ago. When IOS updated several months ago, one of the features that was affected on WhatsApp was the option to sync contacts. I called Apple then and they informed me that each app provider must update their security profiles to be compatible with the new IOS. There have been 2 updates of IOS since then and still, WhatsApp hasn’t got with the program. Utility of WhatsApp has gone down as I have to research each contact to try to even place a call to them. Numbers that are in my phone book don’t register so it’s difficult to know which contact is which without that extra step in research. Furthermore, I can’t save new numbers directly from WhatsApp to my phone. This is quite frustrating. I have never left a review on this app before and decided that 5-6 months of this is enough. Can you please update your app to resolve this issue with iPhone!

Not opening a chat. So me and my friend were talking and I put too much emojis I didn’t even get to send I kept copying and pasting u until it makes a long paragraph because I wanted to try something but it just lagged and then I left WhatsApp and went back onto it and clicked on the friend I was texting but it didn’t open. Every time I click onto our chat, it doesn’t open it just lags on her name then I need to get off WhatsApp and on again I also turned off my phone and opened it again and still the same problem. I could open other peoples chat but not me and hers. It does let me go onto her contact info when I long click on her name but when I tried to get back onto our chat it wouldn’t work I even tried to do the chat search and it wouldn’t work. What would only work is the media,links and docs and the starred messages so please try to help me out with getting back onto our chat.❤️

Remove the time limit on “delete for everyone”. I really like using WhatsApp for staying in touch with friends and family, but there’s one feature I wish they would improve. Currently, the “Delete for Everyone” option has a time limit (around a few days). After that, you can no longer delete messages for both sides. This can be frustrating, especially if you realize much later that you sent something by mistake or want to remove an old message. It would be much better if WhatsApp allowed users to delete messages for everyone at any time, without a time restriction. Giving users more control over their conversations would improve privacy and make the app even more user-friendly. I hope this is something the developers consider in future updates

Inconsistent. But overall love WhatsApp.. I absolutely love WhatsApp. I have to say it’s by far my most favorite messaging app. It has features that even iPhone/Apple hasn’t figured out yet, like: being on a video call and another call that calls through on your phone, you can answer without it hanging up the WhatsApp video call. Apple has NOT mastered this with FaceTime 🤦‍♀️. As well, WhatsApp just offers a lot of options for privacy and security and the end to end encryption will always be a win for me. My only real complaint is that there have been times I have tried to find certain settings on WhatsApp when trying to turn off a toggle or lock something, and when the instructions say something like “turn off media visibility”, and I follow the step by step instructions to do so, that option isn’t available in my WhatsApp. Just like for a while there, I was unable to access the settings button in my Locked Chats, even, the options literally wasn’t even visible. My iPhone is the latest version, fully updated, my WhatsApp also had the latest update, I even did an uninstall, hard reset, reinstall, and still nothing. WhatsApp doesn’t have any real type of chat support that actually helps you with resolutions, so it can be quite frustrating. WhatsApp should have an easier way to turn off the option to “not save pics/media that are taken by ME in the app, to my camera roll”. They have it so you don’t have to autosave from people who send media to you, but they need to do it for outgoing media as well. So recap: 1. Needs to make all settings options available to ALL WhatsApp users. 2. Needs to have an option not to autosave outgoing media to phone/camera roll. 3. GET BETTER TECH SUPPORT!!! Please! Otherwise, the app is absolutely amazing!

I can't send picture from iPhone X. iPhone ex I can't send a picture I can't change anything in the picture I can't write anything in the picture because the frame is a large then I can get the frames bigger the frames of the pictures bigger then the screen please fix this problem because I can't send picture from iPhone X ⬆️ Now it's fixed this is update for this I have other problem sometimes everything applaud when I'm inside the app and I can't make everything move until I push volume up volume down and power to shut down the iPhone this is coming between every week every two weeks inside the app everything is freezing Hello, WhatsApp does not work with me now and I cannot move anything inside it as long as I am connected to the internet, whether through Wi-Fi or through 4G and it does not move until I close WhatsApp, then close all communications and activate flight mode, then enter, do not move inside the application and do not send to anyone

Selective Communication Disconnection. I would like to suggest introducing a new feature that allows users to temporarily disconnect communication with specific contacts, without using the traditional block option. This feature would function similarly to disabling internet access for selected individuals. The idea is to let WhatsApp remain active and functional while making the user appear offline or unreachable to certain contacts. This would be particularly useful in situations where users want to avoid communication from specific numbers without resorting to blocking them, which may feel too permanent or socially sensitive. Such a feature would enhance user control and privacy, offering a more flexible and less intrusive alternative to blocking.

Group Call Needs a Better Control. WhatsApp is such a resourceful application that has formed the core of our daily communication (semi-formal and informal). I must also add that some of the new features have just been so amazing. However, I should mention that the admin or owners of groups need to have a better control over who can initiate a group call or even return a missed call on the group. From my experience, some people on some of the groups that I belong to do not know that once they return a missed call on the group, it calls everyone in the group. I feel the admin of the group should be able to give permissions to selected people that can initiate a group call. Also, the admin should be able to end a group call if not initiated by him/her. Thanks

Disappointed and worried. I downloaded the app a few days ago to use once I joined groups around my area. I haven’t used it yet or added anyone to my contacts. Today I got a text on my phones base messaging app saying “hello” I blocked it immediately, I get the same message a few hours later from a different number, so I block it too and look up the reason. I saw that it could be the app, so I go into Whattsapp only to see I’ve been banned, I appeal the ban then contact support expressing my privacy concerns. The only thing they seem to get out of what I said was that I was trying to appeal a ban through email. That wasn’t even what I said in the email, I was completely ignored when it came to my privacy concerns. Then, I do some further research to see that people are payed to mass report accounts to get them banned. And that Whattsapp had an issue with many users getting banned for no reason and their numbers leaked. Yet you claim to have a “secure” app, I didn’t even use it yet and I already got issues from it! Not cool at all. :(

Suspended Repeatedly with no explanation. I’ve always used WhatsApp while I travel. I’ve gained many international contacts from my trips that are all stored in WhatsApp. Recently I attempted to make a group chat for my family’s upcoming vacation. As soon as I created the group, my account was suspended. No explanation. I submitted an appeal. Got my account back. This time I made the group with even less people (5) and immediately was suspended again. I thought this app was supposed to be used for things like this? There are 30 of us going on a trip that leaves tomorrow and I can’t even connect to any of my people via WhatsApp and I’m the host for the trip. They are literally looking to me for details. How does that work? If you’re going to suspend an account, there should at least be some explanation so that people can know what they may be being flagged for. Plus, the fact that I’m being suspended when I consistently receive spam messages is crazy.

Don’t update... Am begging you. With this stupid new update, Let me just try to be brief: •You can’t delete multiple statuses anymore, you have to delete one by one, it’s a very long and exhausting process if you post a lot •You can’t mute statuses anymore, it’s now impossible •You can’t preview a status, thanks to the update, it’s also now impossible •You can’t search for someone’s status, you have to scroll till you find them, feel sorry for those with over 500 contacts •Channels are being forced onto users, literally you can’t enable or disable them, they’re always there and they’re annoying to look at, I follow no channel and I wish I could get rid of the channel tab from my WhatsApp, no one and I mean no user in there right mind asked for channels, this was WhatsApp, not Telegram not Instagram, WhatsApp is a place for close friends and Family, not a place for me to follow Celebrities and Companies... we already have enough apps for that. •If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it - When will Companies learn? To be honest I feel like they might charge users and make all the features they removed a premium subscription. The greed Big companies have nowadays, it’s no longer about user experience, it’s now about how to milk the most money out of a user’s pocket. I won’t be surprised if they do this •They added useless features that people will never use and removed useful features that people use on a daily
