Ratings and reviews

Whatsapp is hands down one of the best messaging apps out there. But for some reason, If switch off my mobile data or wifi, and then turn it back on later, I won't see the number of people who viewed my status during that period. Newer views would still show, as long as I was connected, but if for some reason I turned it off and reconnected, I wouldn't be able to see who viewed during that period. Please fix this.

WhatsApp is an amazing media platform, easily accessible to all and really convenient. However, it has to undergo updates after every certain period of time and after every update I find it a bit confusing and also, the old features (that I was pretty much aware of) are changed too. I'd suggest that these things should be made simpler as WhatsApp as a medium used by people of all age groups.

The app has been bloated with "non-messaging" features like stories, channels, and so on. Leading to confusion and lack of UX. As well as having terrible overall performance and frequent "freezes" (especially contact search, to the limit that is faster to scroll through chats' history than to use the search feature). The only reason I'm not using telegram or signal fully instead is because parents and friends won't transfer. Not to forget various aggressive data collection and privacy concerns.

What's new

• You can now edit messages up to 15 minutes after sending. Long press a message and choose ‘Edit’ to get started.

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