★★★★★ Mohammad Firhad · Jun 26, 2026

WhatsApp is a useful app for chatting, calling, and sharing files. It is easy to use and works well for personal and school communication. Overall, it is one of the best messaging apps.

★★★★★ 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

★★★★★ 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.

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.

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.
