It is a very good app, but with limited config capabilities. It needs a config panel that would allow users to store media files (large, static files) in a different location (like SD card, to use less space on the phone storage) while keeping chats / DB files (small, dynamic files) on the phone (as most of the SD cards will eventually fail due to frequent changes on these files)

There are too many things that were nice in older versions, but now we're changed (for some reason). I love the idea of sticker, but the experience is worse and worse with every update. In the past, I liked that I had every pack separated and couldn't swipe through all my sticker (but someone didn't liked that apparently). Now, if I want to get to a sticker pack, I have to DOUBLE CLICK it. It's worse than before. Please, stick to the good and old stuff, stop making the experience worse

In the last 2 months, I've been having trouble with this app. most of the time I don't get notifications whenever i have messages in chat. If i open the chat, they come flooding in...hours old messages. I have changed my phone-same problem. A lot of people I know are experiencing the same issue ( different mobile carriers, diff. phone brands, etc). It is very unpleasant as I use Whatsapp as my main channel for communication but I will use something else if there is no resolving this huge issue
