Share daily moments through Status

Thankx for the good service. I have 2 suggestions to enhance my privacy 1. I'd like the option to separate groups from the home screen. 2. I want WhatsApp to introduce new features that allow me to control my privacy by hiding the blue and second ticks. This way, when someone sends me a message, they won't know if I've received or read it. And even if I do read it or I'm online, it will still show only one tick. I should have the option to decide whether to keep the blue ticks or set it to one t

I've been using the WhatsApp Android app for a while now and generally find it very user-friendly. However, the recent addition of voice chat in groups has become quite annoying. It would be highly beneficial if you could add a feature that allows group admins to enable or disable voice chat as needed. This would provide much-needed flexibility and ensure that the feature is only used when necessary. Thank you for considering this suggestion to improve the user experience!

WhatsApp keeps closing everytime I try to type a message or access my whatsapp settings or messages. Have been facing this issue for a couple of months off and on. This is causing a lot of inconvenience. Kindly look into the matter at the earliest. A pop up keeps telling that there is a bug in the app. The app and my android system are already updated to the latest version.
