WhatsApp Messenger 12+

Whattsapp is one of the most used app on my phone. Almost 80-90% of my conversations and chats are via whattsapp. It introduces friendly, comfortable and valuable features time by time. Yes, sometimes bugs and errors occurs, but whattsapp has always tried to fix it with immediate update. The recent continual bug is that I have countered with is related to stories and status. While going through stories, there is always a bug occurring. The bug is that the audio of previous story plays and mixes with the next video or even photo story. And sometimes the story minimises and quit by itself. I am facing this issue for almost 2 weeks. I hope whattsapp will fix it with an immediate update. Thanks.

My WhatsApp notifications have been blocked for a few months now. Yesterday evening I suddenly found that no messages were coming in or going out. I took it to be an internet issue; however after ensuring that there were no internet issues and that WhatsApp was not down in Pakistan I attempted restarting my phone. Also attempted a hard restart and killed apps and freed up a lot of space but to no effect on WhatsApp. Interestingly I could still download undownloaded pictures and voice memos from older messages but nothing new would come in or go out. After several hours I asked someone to call me and my phone rang and several messages came in. But still no messages would go out until I tried sending a picture directly from my photos app and those messages were received yet they didn’t show up in my own chat window. Then again after having received several messages with the phone call messages stopped coming in and wouldn’t go out from my WhatsApp.

Finally I tried turning on the notifications for WhatsApp in my iPhone from iPhone’s settings and suddenly found that my WhatsApp was functional again. Seems to be a really crazy bug in this new WhatsApp update … seems to have an issue with turning the notifications off for a little peace of mind

On my iPhone 6 with iOS 12.5.2 when i open stickers section, they a some time to load,especially the older ones in fav. In this waiting time, frequently the app crashes.
The second issue am facing is when i clear chat in “Delete messages other than starred ones”, after getting the job done many times am unable to access my starred content even after relaunching the app several times, meanwhile in the list of chats the preview of the starred content does appear as it do with most recent msg in a chat, moreover the stared content can be accessed by media section in chat details. But in inbox, screen appears empty of msgs even the tag of END TO END ENCRYPTION also doesn't appears.
The third thing is latest emojis are not available in the app that other people do use from the app, to be more precise yawn emoji and the smiley face with a tear etc. In chat these like emojis appear as a quest mark inside box.
The forth is a req please to add a setting that may let the user to choose who specifically can see the profile pic. Am talking about to allow user select who can see the profile pic out of contacts and which contacts should not see the profile picture.
I’m facing these issues since long and is quite annoying and got over head that made me to write this review
