Ratings and reviews

I rate this app a 4 because I have had problems with seeing people's names. I can only see people's phone numbers and I have to go to settings and refresh the page where it says Permission Whatsapp for contacts. It has happened several times. I also have a problem with the permissions: It keeps toggling off so every time I want to listen to an audio or see a pic I have to allow ever time and it's really annoying and irritating. Please fix this. Over all it's a good app and a good way to talk.

Epilepsy / headache alert in new version! There's a new feature that puts people in a frame when pressing the video in a call, passing through a black screen. When you have a one year old that spends his time pressing the screen randomly to touch the person in the video, it blinks INSANELY fast and it gives an immediate headache. Please remove ASAP or add an option to lock the screen when in a video call.

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.

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!
