I've had this app since 2012/13 and it's always been my favorite. Ever since adding all the features it's been so many different glitches. Mostly being audio issues. Example: If you receive a call on your regular line while on a WhatsApp video call, that will cause the other parties not to hear you. We usually reboot our phone, or uninstall/reinstall, but we really shouldn't have to do that! I will be glad to remove this review once this issue is fixed!

The LAST SEEN is not working for the past week! It even shows the wrong date & time for myself. I've uninstalled/reinstalled. I looked for updates; I'm using the latest version. I restarted my phone several times. Also, my phone is new, Android 13. This app started this issue last week. Until then, there were no issues. Also, people are reading & replying to my messages, but their "two gray dots" are not turning blue and yes, they have "read receipts" turned on.

The app has increasing issues since I've been using it. The most recent is the forced combining of groups from the same org into "communities" which adds even more steps to get to the chats you actually use and combines all of the "members" lists into one. I can see having this as an option on the user's end, but forcing it is wildly inconvenient and prevents me from having my most frequently used chats immediately accessible.

Been using this app for a loooong time now! Can i suggest the ability to make a scribble note with the media i can send? Like a post-it note type doodle we can send each other? I like drawing what im talking about sometimes, and its a process switching between two apps for a single doodle. Im also trying to use my stylus more. Other then that, great app! Would love a way to share a way to doodle in conversation like tic tac toe. Another feature needed is a way to hide photos from the conversati

videos are very glittchy. i'm only able to catch half of what my friend is saying on the other end. i get bits & pieces of what he's saying but i keep having to say, "say that again" or "what did you say?". he gets annoyed by it. it's either my phones connection that causes the glitching or maybe this app needs fixing up. i would greatly appreciate it if something can be done about it because these videos are the only way i can keep in touch with him

I am extremely frustrated. The last update messed up my ability to open links in the app when sent to me by friends...ie, from fb or reels. I've tried everything under the sun to fix this, and nothing is working. I've always been able to open links sent to me in messages within whatsapp. I've reached out to whatsapp help and no solution or help. You guys created a ticket but no response! I don't want to have to delete the app and reinstall bc I refuse to backup my chats to Google!
