I noticed that recently after updates, when listening to voice notes, if it's a long voice note the voice note will stop when the screen goes off. Dunno why it's doing this. Before it wasn't like that. Also noticed that missed calls are not shown on screen, but only when you open WA and check you chats you will see the missed call label inside the chat. Please work on a feature that allows you to block Whatsapp video/ calls in general or for a scheduled time.

FIX THE BUG THAT FORGETS YOUR LOGIN AND FORCES YOU TO RESTORE EVERYTHING. On every device, "You have been logged out" without ANY reason. And how is it possible to have WhatsApp set to "daily" backups, and then the most recent backup is from over a month ago? A month of messages, images, docs, videos, just gone because your app can't even do a BASIC BACKUP properly. Garbage app. The only reason I keep using this thing is because other people.

Just started using the app and I'd happily give 5 stars if it were solely based on the product's simplicity design, and operating abilities, however I'd like to make 2 (obvious) suggestions. 1. Being a translate feature and perhaps have in settings a setting to set your preferred translating language. Also, on the topic, many prominent websites are offering live video call translating capabilities, might be worth considering. 2. A more clear account/profile accessibility button/page/feature.
