Ratings and reviews

Good interface and nice functionality. Does what I need it to do. Wish they would release features a bit more quickly. Example: we've seen online about a UI refresh to make navigation more finger friendly. I've been waiting a month or more for this. I get the update and the description references said UI refresh. Opening the app however shows no changes. I know you're developing an app for millions but just a bit faster updates pls? 🙏or don't advertise them & users then wait for feature drops.

The recent UI update has improved the overall aesthetics of the application. However, there is a minor adjustment that could further enhance its visual appeal. Specifically, increasing the spacing between the "WhatsApp" title and the search bar would create a more balanced and symmetrical layout. This adjustment would be particularly beneficial on larger devices, such as the Samsung S24 Ultra, where the current design appears cramped and lacks visual harmony.

WhatsApp with it's new update is quite the mobile messenger. I do however want to make a suggestion. You recently introduced the feature that enables users to edit their messages. May I suggest that, just as you did when you introduced the feature that helps users reply specifically to a message by swiping right, you can also introduce the function to edit a mesaage by swiping left on it. At the moment, swiping left does nothing. It would make it most convenient to use. Thank you.
