Ratings and reviews

The interface isn't intuitive at all. It tries to take over everything and seems to completely malfunction if you block everything like access to contacts. The AI keeps giving bad directions to fix things. Despite my telling it I don't have an iPhone, it keeps giving me iPhone instructions. i just have one person I need it for and the group chats they start. I don't want this for anything else but the app can't seem to handle that.

I have been using WhatsApp for over decades, I have never had an issue with it. I haven't found a better app for chatting out there. It makes texting, video calling, voice msging, docs. sharing, doc scanning, pictures, you name it easier. Phone calling? Easy regardless of where the other person is, on earth or not, as long as they have reliable internet, you can talk to them and do all the above. There is no need for the highest, most expensive gadgets to do none of that.

Great app if you have wifi and need to pop off a few text messages but if you use it to make a call, prepare to get frustrated and angry. You'll get about 30 seconds before either you can't hear them or they can't hear you. This "feature" is worthless and shouldn't be advertised. I don't want any "get ahold of so and so to help solve the problem" I just want it fixed update: it NEVER gets better with new wifi or device!

These features will roll out over the coming weeks. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
