★★★★★ Vijaya Shree · Jul 5, 2026

Still the best and easiest way to connect with our people by texting and calling through this app.

★★★★★ Kati Kaum · Jul 5, 2026

This WhatsApp makes me very easy to get through family, friends and relatives for any special discussion along me and my beloved ones.

★★★★★ Mustapha Adeola · Jun 30, 2026

It's amazing app, I will suggest that WhatsApp should have option for schedule message whereby one can send message in advance prior to a particular timing. Thanks

★★★★★ Fatima Yusuf zurmi · Jun 26, 2026

I have issues for the WhatsApp some time locket

★☆☆☆☆ Gloria Ebuachi · Jul 5, 2026

Why is it that after verifying my account they told me to download the official app why

★☆☆☆☆ Amit Dua · Jun 30, 2026

Day by day, you are spoiling status viewing experience. First, you made the downgrade that read statues start again when I am viewing statues in continuity. Next downgrade was, even after seeing my own status, others' statues start appearing unless I press back. I relied on viewing status by tapping dps, but now you downgraded that also, and even if I am seeing the status by tapping a specific dp, next statues start appearing. This one problem is pouring cold water on all the good new features.
