Ratings and reviews

although it's a practical app, the errors and anomalies makes me want to delete it sometimes. while it tries to back up, it does not allow me to use the app and even if I have a strong connection, lately it seem not to be capable of backing up. I cannot use the app now, the messages sent is not delivered to me. The other problem is, from time to time, I don't receive the messages unless I open the app. Only then I see messages. They're not even delivered to me as my friend report. Solve this.

I've had this app since 2012/13 and it's always been my favorite. Ever since adding all the features it's been so many different glitches. Mostly being audio issues. Example: If you receive a call on your regular line while on a WhatsApp video call, that will cause the other parties not to hear you. We usually reboot our phone, or uninstall/reinstall, but we really shouldn't have to do that! I will be glad to remove this review once this issue is fixed!

The software is an example where introducing additional features that intermittently work is pointless. I mean the video messaging feature. On Android, it only works interminttently. It would be far better to add features that are stable and work. Uninstalling and reinstalling and app to get a feature to work is just poor programming. In part, it's why I use Signal and Telegram.

What's new

• You can now pin messages in groups for all current members.

• You can now check your connection health during a video call by long pressing on your tile.

• Added a 'view once' option to voice messages.

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