Making it Better
I love the app been using it since they debut and dominating the cross platform messaging that de-throne the blackberry messenger and the blackberry phone across the Americans now a few added features that a lot of people would gladly say yes to is [1] Adding more pin chats instead of just 3 pins let’s have 5-10 pins I believe that would be a fair number of chats to add to the top. [2] Implement a pinned topic or have a topic option in groups. It’s so annoying to be changing the name of the group to the topic when you could open the group and the topic is pinned at the top let the admin have the option of turning it on or off. Just emailing the group name is changed to the topic and you wondering who added you to a group you don’t want to be in. Other than that I love the app 5 stars hope the developer take these into consideration.
App got worse after no choice then having to update
What happened to what’s app after the update. It got worse. What about being able to delete what you sent on both sides nit just from my chat, it used to not any more! You said there were improvements? Not at all! Improvements doesn’t mean to take away what worked well for many. improvements is enhancing adding not removing what works. What a disappointment this app fell short! Many feel the same! Security? That probably won’t be secure either anymore! Let’s see what will happen going forward with all the breaches and the unsecured and less encryption . I can go on and on. If you say you will improve, then do as you promise!

Developer Response ,
Please note that you only have about **an hour** after you’ve sent a message to delete for everyone.
Messages that are successfully deleted for everyone will be replaced with:
“**This message was deleted**”
To delete messages for everyone:
1. Open the WhatsApp chat containing the message you want to delete.
2. Tap and hold the message :: tap **Delete**.
* Optionally, select more messages to delete multiple messages at once.
3. Tap the **trash can** icon :: **Delete For Everyone**.
* In order for messages to be successfully deleted for everyone, both you and your recipient must be using the latest version of WhatsApp.
* Recipients using WhatsApp for iOS may still have media you sent saved to their Photos, even after the message is deleted from the WhatsApp chat.
* Recipients may see your message before it’s deleted or if deletion wasn’t successful.
* You won’t be notified if deleting for everyone wasn’t successful.
* You only have about an hour after you’ve sent a message to request to **Delete for Everyone**
From Bad to Worse
What was once a wonderful secure platform is fast becoming a laughingstock ever since it was touched by Facebook. So thoroughly disappointed. Relatives abroad had told me that Facebook is phasing out WhatsApp but demands that we give them all our contact details; I’m not for that. Apparently, In the UK, WhatsApp was given customers until the first week of February before they close an account if the customer refused to except terms to the detriment of customer privacy. Now there is a delay to this change? It’s still going to happen so why the delay? Could it be that this delay is to collect our information anyway without a permission, anyway? I have now started looking for a replacement to WhatsApp. I am sorry to be parting company with you but it isn’t the secure independent platform it once was and the quality has progressively deteriorated. To be honest, if I could opt for zero stars that would be the level at this point. I’ve been trying to speak to others over the platform but I’ve spent more time trying to reconnect or redial and it’s just not worth it. Another competitor bows out.

Fantastic app
Do you mind if I suggest ? Can we have an option where we can choose list where only the list can see dp and the last seen status instead blocking the unwanted by not giving them the visibility ?
Another important is as this has been the most powerful media across the globe with all ages and across all seasoned and unseasoned lifestyles , can you please filter wrong messages and let use the app more productively, positively and constructively ? As there are all classes of people and all kinds of mentalities , we are coming across panic attacks , wrong and destructive messages and depressing messages, cheap entertainment being circulated rampantly. Request you to take this up very seriously and filter such messages with certain criteria , age , their actual photo their phone numbers , etc before anybody posts.. another idea which I can suggest is the person who first posts such messages or any message. Let the first person’s number be carried along with the message throughout , so that first person will be more responsible to post authentic and constructive message.
Change of the passcode rather than using the phones same passcode, and chat hide feature
Dear whatsapp developers i m using whatsapp since past 6 years. seen many changes and evaluation from then. its all going seem less but there are few issues which i would address u. after enabling the touch-id in whatsapp app. security features increased and in my opinion it was necessary to do so. but pls dont use the same touch-id and passcodes which we have set fr our phne. its must be different as it will increase extra security and one more issue i need to address u is that while chatting or while lying on the whatsapp app. when i switch to notification center and when i come back to whatsapp app. there my screen turns white for few milliseconds which seems that it is slowing down as i m using iPhone 8 plus. and pls add the hide feature in whatsapp as hike is giving this feature. it is really necessary in my opinion. pls look after my concerns regarding this update.
Unable to update status
I am unable to update status on the app since 3 days now. The error showing is “something went wrong. Please try after 24 hours”. Even after trying after 24 hours, still getting the same error message. It feels very irritating to go through this. None to provide any solution to this problem. I have even mailed the whatsapp team to look into this regard but no one has even acknowledged yet or provided any solution to this. The app is so pathetic that I am unable to even backup my chat history on the app where it’s stuck on 53% and not moving a bit ahead since 2 days even though I have good internet connection. I don’t understand whom to contact or what to do with this problem. For an app with this huge base and backed by the tech leader like facebook, this is a worst service that the whatsapp has given. Having seen the jump of #signal app, it’s time to move and chuck whatsapp to their foot level. I will wait for another 24 hours to get this resolved or I’ll first make sure I along with my family member and friends to install signal. Time’s not far to see the downfall of whatsapp with such pathetic service. If you still wish to serve your users do address my and others who are going through this problem and resolve the issue immediately.
