Ratings and reviews

WhatsApp is an exceptional messaging app that keeps me connected with friends and family effortlessly. Its user-friendly interface makes sending messages, photos, and videos a breeze. I appreciate the end-to-end encryption, ensuring my conversations remain private and secure. Group chats and voice/video calling features are fantastic for staying in touch with larger circles. Occasionally, I experience minor glitches or connectivity issues, but overall, WhatsApp remains my top choice!

Just don't provide a customer service! Why give false hope?? App itself works apart from switching back from beta to normal version. My backup became incompatible and lost all messages. That's the first time I had to deal with their CS. No viable solution provided. This time the app was sluggish and I decided to reinstall. Made sure messages were backed up. Again my backup didn't get restored. After a few exchanges, they had no solutions. Even ignored a suggestion I made which later worked.

Recently I'm experiencing an issue whereby some messages immediately disappear when I send them. The majority of the time the recipient receives the messages but they don't show in my chat history. Very frustrating as I can't see what I've sent. WhatsApp customer support was useless, I answered the same questions over and over to eventually get told we don't offer support for issues with messaging, have a look at our help centre...shocking!
