Ratings and reviews

With the addition of whatsapp for smart watches, this app really needs the option to make calls over wifi. Edit: I've taken 2 stars because customer service is aggravating to deal with. I'm not sure if I'm even talking to a real person, but when I have a problem I am being sent links to help topics that don't even relate to my problem over and over again. Until I'm told they don't have a solution and to report if it happens again and include photos, only to be told to rewrite the problem again.

After downloading the "WhatsApp Messenger" app only a few days before my wife travelled to the UK 🇬🇧 for 3 wks, was totally amazed by the clarity & speed of conversation between us. Media attached opened & played without any glitches. Recently the app has added features like sending 'yourself' media or attachments for review later. For this app to be free & no ads, I'm so impressed & I'm trying to convince all my contacts to download & see how awesome it really is! Thanks for a great app.

Hi, Whatsapp Team. I have been using Whatsapp for a long time and it was the best messaging app due to its simplicity and intuitive design. With the Channels update, there is no way to turn on or off the channels feature. I really do not appreciate this move and it has significantly caused me problems and distracts me when I try to see my contacts' status updates. I understand that some users may like these channels, but give us the option to turn it on or off at least! Thanks.
