Ratings and reviews

Very unhappy. For some reason when choosing a picture to send in a message, of all my albums in my gallery, only 5 are visible to select from. This was never the case before up till now. I only can select pictures from camera folder, recents folder, downloads folder, whatsapp and screenshot folders. If I click the 3 buttons top right only cloud apps is there. This means if I have a picture in another folder I have to transfer it to one of these to be able to send it in whatsapp. Permission on

The photos sent from this app keep saving on my gallery. It's a nuisance. I have to keep manually deleting them. To add to this nuisance, the app keeps asking about saving to Google drive or something else. Why not save in a temporary app folder like most apps do? Or at least make that an option... I literally loathe opening this app, and I loathe getting memes. I use the app cuz some family and friends overseas are on it, I wish they were on some of the other better communications apps.

If I could give WhatsApp zero stars, I would. The app is full of issues that never get fixed. It crashes constantly, the notifications don’t work properly, and messages often don’t send or arrive late. The interface is clunky, and it’s impossible to find old chats easily. Group chats are a nightmare with endless spam, and you can't even mute certain contacts without them still showing up.

What’s new

• You can now double tap to quickly react to a message.
• Sharing multiple images and videos now sends as a collection.
• You can now share sticker packs as a message in your chats. Tap the three dot menu next to a pack and choose ‘Send’ to get started.


These features will roll out over the coming weeks. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
