An indispensable talking application which cannot be deemed other than outright useful

Good evening! I am writing this very important review with the hope that you will read it and know wholly how advanced and performant your application has become. The quickness with which all the messages are sent, the marvellous quality with which all the photographies and videos are sent, the excellent quality of the sound and very clear sound of the calls are the main features that make Whatsapp be a very trustful application used for communications when it comes to speaking, sending messages, sending photographies and other important files. I deeply appreciate your professionalism and your hard work that was accomplished throughout the years in order to create this outright efficient application and to enhance it inasmuch as possible! Congratulations! An outstanding app which has acquired an utmost importance in the process of connecting with other people and sending them beautiful stuff such as pictures and beautiful messages with a lot of expressive smiling pictograms.
Review & Additional Suggestion
AwsomeCoolIMovie
Hey, great app! i’ve been using this app for 5/6 years and haven’t had so much troubles with it. love all the new features and extensions improved to this app and really easy to use. but i was thinking about an additional feature (optional) that can and help improve the app more for majority of people. you should maybe add a filtered/hidden words or messages to settings under starred messages and linked devices with a red cross as an icon. and in there you can press on the button and have a text at the top saying “Write down here to filter/hide this message.” or something similar to that. and when the person sees a word included in the other user’s paragraph or sentence should have a blurred effect or image saying “Tap to view the filtered/hidden message.” that way so they’re not triggered by any messages that include the specific word they don’t like. Hope you can see my review, thanks all to the developers!
The best chat app!! :)
Andra :P
Hey! Amazing app!! The best way to chat with people. It’s also very convenient and easy, I’ve actually became so used to using WhatsApp as my main messaging app that I become really suspicious of people who tell me they don’t have or they don’t use this app. However, I would like to make a recommendation, if you want to announce a new feature of the app ,like the Translate Your Message, why do you show me this update in the app if you don’t have the option for my country or language (I’m romanian, btw).I mean even if you wanted to make the argument that Romanian isn’t such an important language because Romania isn’t that big of a country, or something like that, that wouldn’t stand because if I want to talk with someone from another country and they would want to translate my messages, what will they do? And yes, I know that I’m good with English, but not everyone is. Sorry for this long of a review, it just frustrates me to see updates that are available for other countries, but we, Romanians, have to wait a month, a year etc.Anyway, really great app, I get it if the problem that I listed isn’t up to you guys, I just wanted to share my thoughts. :)
Problem
frv21
On my iPhone my WhatsApp is set to automatically save the photos I receive on Photos. For me this was working just fine, but a couple of days ago Photos started to save each photo twice. This means that now, if I receive one photo via WhatsApp and then I go to Photos, the same pic appears duplicated.I've been searching settings on my phone to try to fix this with no luck, I've been looking for it also through the internet but I cannot find the solution. I also tried turning off the "save in Photos" setting, then turning off my phone and then turning "save in Photos" back on but didn't work either.I'll appreciate any help you can give me.Thank you!
We update the app regularly to fix bugs, optimize performance and improve the experience. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
