Ratings and Reviews
Avatars
I really really love the app, but when I found out all about the avatar I loved it and I made an avatar for me and I told my sister and stuff, but now, it doesn’t work at all and the weirder than that is when try to edit a photo ( which there’s an option to put stickers ) I found out that there’s an option to edit a photo by putting avatars and it gives me the avatars easily. My question is where did the avatars go? I tried to send the avatars sticker pack to myself and when I open it it tells me all about the avatars and tells me that I didn’t install WhatsApp.
Limited Data Retrieval and Room for Improvement
I’ve been using WhatsApp for a while, but I find a major drawback when it comes to data retrieval. Once messages or data are deleted, there’s no way to recover them easily, which can be really frustrating if you accidentally lose important conversations or media. In comparison, apps like Telegram and Messenger offer better functionality in this regard. Telegram, for instance, has a superior backup system and doesn’t limit users as much when it comes to message recovery or even multi-device synchronization.
WhatsApp is still popular due to its widespread use, but I believe it could benefit from adopting more robust features that competitors like Telegram and Messenger already offer. Until WhatsApp improves in these areas, I’d recommend considering other apps that provide more control over your data and better recovery options.
Not as expected
I’ve been using WhatsApp for years, and it’s quite disappointing to see how slow of a progress it goes through...
As the most used chatting app, it’s missing a lot features. Not only that, but I also don’t understand what’s wrong with WhatsApp REMOVING features with every update.. in the latest update, you can’t view anything in the chat storage usage except its media; that means you can’t see how many text messages are in a chat anymore, no more separate control over pictures, videos, or even voice messages... now they’re terribly combined together and there’s absolutely no way you can delete each type of media alone like before...
I’m extremely disappointed for this loss, so please bring it back.
Overall, not the best chatting app out there, and if it wasn’t for the fact that everyone uses it, I wouldn’t even think of using this featureless app on a daily basis.
