Don't add updates that make people scared in channels. Nobody wants to see how many people are staring at our message in channels.

★★☆☆☆ Sukaina Ali · Jul 19, 2026

It ok, but It said my account was in review just cuz I just added my cousins number, and she knew I was going to add it but I just said one sentence that said something like "hello, cousin. it's me. " But I wrote my name wrong, so I wrote it again but autofill made it something else, so I wrote it one more time correct ✔ but then it said my account was banned for a day and need to be reviewed just cuz I WROTE MY NAME WRONG AND THEN WROTE IT 3 TIMES, LIKE SERIOUSLY, NOW I Can't CHAT WITH ANYONE

★☆☆☆☆ Nene mba owen · Aug 3, 2026

Yes no doubt WhatsApp is great, but there is a frustrating bug in it now that logs you out and ask you to download the official app from the official site no matter how many times you download it from the official WhatsApp site this is really frustrating. Please check your app it's currently frustrating a lot of users with that bug...so for now I'm giving WhatsApp 1 star until they correct this problem.
