Ratings and reviews

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!

videos are very glittchy. i'm only able to catch half of what my friend is saying on the other end. i get bits & pieces of what he's saying but i keep having to say, "say that again" or "what did you say?". he gets annoyed by it. it's either my phones connection that causes the glitching or maybe this app needs fixing up. i would greatly appreciate it if something can be done about it because these videos are the only way i can keep in touch with him

I am extremely frustrated. The last update messed up my ability to open links in the app when sent to me by friends...ie, from fb or reels. I've tried everything under the sun to fix this, and nothing is working. I've always been able to open links sent to me in messages within whatsapp. I've reached out to whatsapp help and no solution or help. You guys created a ticket but no response! I don't want to have to delete the app and reinstall bc I refuse to backup my chats to Google!

What's new
