WhatsApp Messenger 12+

This is a great service, but this new update should be optional. I mute chats because sometimes the amount of chats and msgs is excessive. But the notification alerts me to there being messages and if it didn’t ring I know who it’s likely from. Now I will have to open the app to see if I received a message and I don’t agree with that. There should be other options too: Such as blocking someone’s status from showing up. I don’t mean hiding it through a “mute status”. The only way to not see someone’s status is if they block you from seeing it. Which is great. But it would be nice if instead of just muting someone’s status, we could stop them from showing up. This should be done individually. Same with the read receipt thing, doesn’t have to go both ways. People should individually chose whether the other person sees blue ticks, without it affecting their choice.

But all in all, I think it’s doing well.

Dear team, thank you for the hard work. The app is getting better as times passes by. I am writing to report a bug.
Since January, when I was using an iPhone 7, it crashed (closing itself) whenever I open stickers. I thought the phone had issues and I upgraded to an iPhone 11, but the issue is still there and I don’t know what to do. I have closed and reopened the app, I restarted my device, I updated the app and the software and finally deleted the app and then re-downloaded it, but nothing changed. I would be happy if you could solve this issue. Thank in advance!

Whatsapp is a very powerful app, but also invasive, as long as I have a phone number on my contact I can chat with the person.
I thin that the first time that we start talking (or being able to see profile and status), one of the persons should send a request to “join” my “profile”
Secondly, when a group chat is created, ppl should be invited to join and not just open your app and see that you are in a new group and sometimes with thousand messages.

Once again, is a very powerful app but ver invasive
