Ratings and reviews

I had my WhatsApp installed on my phone, my Kindle, and my PC and working in exact sync. Then the app said I needed to update on my Kindle, which I did. But, when it opened, all I got was a rapidly flashing screen. I tried multiple times, only to find that it is no longer available on my Amazon Kindle after 16 months of using it. My phone is also an Android, so I'm wondering if it's going to go as well. This sucks big time!

WhatsApp has completely failed us. The verification code is not being delivered by SMS or phone call, making it impossible to access the account. We've spent countless hours troubleshooting, worked with our carrier, switched providers and back again, and verified that the phone number is working normally. Despite all of this, there is no effective customer support available. Users are left stuck with automated responses and no real solution. For an app used by billions of people

been using it for work for 2 years with no issues, but now all of a sudden "their system has detected my usage to be suspicious" despite messaging only the exact same coworkers I've been working with for 2 years and it keeps restricting my account for no reason causing work disruptions. Cancelled my premium account, I don't have time to deal with AI - based "detection" nonsense like this. UPDATE 7/13/26 : And now, for no reason, my account is banned And "under review" and I can't use at all.

What’s new

• You can now choose to share recent group history with new members when you add them to a group
• Group calls now include the ability to transfer calls between mobile and desktop, add a waiting room for call links, and pin a participant to a bigger tile.


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