Ratings and reviews

Whatsapp has been working fine for more than 10 years now, but with the latest update during every video call, if I minimize video screen to look at my phone, my video gets paused. Even after closing video, reopening it from Whatsapp, turning front camera back and front again, or even disabling and enabling video call doesn't turn it on. I have to disconnect and redial the call for the other person to see me. It's been happening for over a month now, please fix it soon. This is very annoying😡😡

Was a decent app. But lately, I have been getting notified of messages that are being sent, but when I go to check them, the messages are not there. The last messages I have are from almost a week ago. And people are sending me messages in Facebook of screenshots from the group chats in whatsapp that I'm not even getting. And yes, the app is up to date. I have reinstalled the app numerous times. And made sure the app is caught up on updates. And the app has been backed up and nothing.

I use this app daily to talk to my fiancé overseas, and it used to work great, but now it glitches constantly. You consistently have to close it out and reopen it because the camera gets blocked. It won't let you mute the call unless you again, close it out, and reopen it. Sometimes, the screen will shrink, and you can't make it large again. Other times, it'll cause your whole phone to freeze and won't even let you hang up. It's so stressful to use! I miss how it was before it was bought out.
