Ratings and reviews

the app would be so much better if only the people programming wouldn't be brain dead and had the capacity to understand that, sometimes, phones break, and you just can't use them to transfer your "supposedly cloud-stored" backups to your new phone. The worst part is that they ask for your account to have access to you cloud storage, and they still don't grant you access to your previously saved backups from there. what is the gorram point then?

it works, does what it advertises, but God forbid I forget to update. got locked out of notifications without knowing, and sent my mom into a panic, all because my date setting was too far ahead- it literally worked again by just setting my date back. it wasn't even an API issue, just a software lock. Easily removed, and yet here it is, having just caused a headache.

I was really hoping for a smooth messaging experience, but WhatsApp has been a letdown. The app frequently crashes and the notifications are inconsistent, which makes it frustrating to keep up with conversations. Plus, the user interface can feel cluttered at times. I also have concerns about privacy and data security. Overall, I expected more from such a popular app. Time to look for alternatives
