WhatsApp is really good however it’s a bit hard to find some stuff and you can customise your own profile picture and you can also add a sentence about you underneath your profile picture. And say if you upgraded from messages to WhatsApp then if you had a friend who can’t find WhatsApp in the App Store then you can invite them to WhatsApp by sending an invitation in settings. Also you can turn on disappearing messages but if someone clicks on your message then they can keep the messages stopping it from disappearing from that specific person. Along with that if you’re in a group chat then you can click on your message and then info to see who has read it and you can send a message where you can only red it once. And same with if you’re on a group chat then you can easily just block one person from that group which does mean you can still see the group chat messages it’s just that you can’t see the person’s message(s) if they send any since you have blocked them.Thank you WhatsApp for helping me over the past 9 years!

This is an excellent app and well designed. However the sign in process on the iPad is unnecessarily ridiculous and really hard if you’re physically disabled. If you have a physical disability like I have (tetraplegic) you have to wait to ask your support worker or someone else to help you link your iPad to the WhatsApp app on the iPhone, because you can’t sign in on an iPad for some reason. Then when you go to the WhatsApp app in the iPhone to link your iPad, it won’t do it unless you use fingerprint verification(and yes, fingerprint unlocking is turned off in the WhatsApp settings before anyone thinks of that, it doesn’t matter apparently). So then because you don’t use fingerprint security when you’re paralysed from the neck down., you'll have to ask your support worker to try and hold your thumb on the iPhone to create one, which is not easy when you're paralysed, and then go back to the WhatsApp app then try and get your thumb in the proper place with help just to start the link Device malarkey in the WhatsApp app. This is a brilliant app and you must have some superb coders clearly, so surely it can't be that hard to adapt the iPad app so you can just sign in normally, please. I had friends who were down in the area for a week wanting to catch up with me and they use the WhatsApp app to check if I’m alright to take visitors, but I missed them because I didn’t realise I was signed out until late, and then I had to wait several hours until I had help again. Please fix this guys.

The last few months every now and then it just stops working and says that I have gone against some terms, I send an appeal asking what I am supposed to have done and then 24 hours or not long before I get a response saying that they are sorry for the mistake and that I can continue to use the app! I have asked every time what they think I am supposed to have done or why it keeps happening but I don’t seem to get any answers and it’s more frustrating when you haven’t saved the number in your phone or your in the middle of messaging and it all of a sudden cuts off! And as far as I’m aware it doesn’t inform people or put something on your account to tell anyone that your WhatsApp is unavailable so people have assumed that I am just ignoring them which is even more annoying! I wish they could either explain why this happens or fix whatever the problem is as I am not aware of any other messaging application that is similar and as widely known as this! So I used to think highly of this app but since this has been happening it’s gone down down and I’m getting very annoyed with it, I have to tell everyone that if I don’t reply then please text as it keeps stopping me using it and then apologising! Not impressed and I can’t seem to find a support chat other than being told to go through the settings, but I can’t when they stop it working so it’s useless then!!!!!

I use WhatsApp every single day for important daily communication with my friends, family and business contacts. For four years I have enjoyed the app significantly to do things such as text messaging, voice messaging and voice calling. However, I am really disappointed with the recent performance of WhatsApp. As a totally blind individual I rely on screen reading technology through the use of Apple’s VoiceOver for iPhone. And the most recent WhatsApp update has completely broken the navigation with VoiceOver for us as blind people. For example, when I’m in a chat and I want to send a voice message I do a certain gesture which lets me record my voice message. About 10 seconds into my record recording VoiceOver losers focus and loses my place on the screen and I can no longer get past what is called the vertical scroll bar. Which means VoiceOver is trapped in the Recording of the voice message. Even with the additional screen recognition feature the Apple provides the app is barely usable for not only me but others in the blind and visually impaired community who use WhatsApp as their daily messaging app. So as of right now, the app is barely usable to me. I am really disappointed with this service as this is my way of communicating to everyone in my life. And the fact that WhatsApp can just release updates that break things is just unacceptable. I would recommend people, especially people who are blind to stay away from WhatsApp for the foreseeable future until they decide to fix this huge bug.
