★★★★★ 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
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
