Ratings and Reviews
Requested access to photos
I had a pop up from WhatsApp requesting access to all photos. I can't even remember the last time I used the app (it has been over a year) and at the time the pop up was displayed I was browsing in Safari. Since I didn't expect the pop up I mindlessly clicked Allow and then immediately went into settings to revoke all photos access. WhatsApp should not be requesting access to all photos out of the blue.
I'm giving 4 stars because the app worked fine as far as I remember. I wanted to report the issue to WhatsApp but have not found a way to do that so am attempting to let somebody know by writing a review. I'll probably delete the app now though to avoid future occurrences. It makes me suspicious of what it could possibly be doing in the background without my knowledge because I didn't do anything that should result in WhatsApp wanting access to my photos.
Having trouble with my WhatsApp
The reason that I am giving up is Store is because I’ve been having a lot of issues with the app. The app Is not letting me receive message or send message or photos! Other things that it’s telling me is that I don’t have space to update the app, but I have 110 GB available on my phone and 1 terabyte available on my iCloud! So I figure that should be a plenty space to be able to update tha app! So I don’t understand why I’m having a hard trouble with my WhatsApp! I have had WhatsApp since 2010 and I never had had this issues that I’m having right now! For example, everything started that I didn’t had storage on my WhatsApp when I try to update it. The app got deleted from my phone when it was on progress on the update, I download it again. The WhatsApp I try to recover my chat history and then it didn’t let me. I contact technical support and my issue did not Solved! Also, when I contact technical support, I asked a question that it was why do I only have 8GB of storage on my WhatsApp when other people have 88GB and I never got an answer! One of the reasons that I don’t delete WhatsApp it’s because I need it for my job and I need to FaceTime my son that lives in another town! Those are the two reasons why I don’t delete WhatsApp because if it was for me, I already deleted WhatsApp with all this issues that I’m going through!
Deactivating my account for no reason
I just got a new phone and a new US phone number I downloaded WhatsApp on my new phone. All my contacts were still there but my chat histories were gone. I used WhatsApp how I would normally use it. There were no chats on the main screen of my WhatsApp, I clicked on the contact of one of my friend’s to chat with and it created a completely new chat (therefore there was now one chat on my mainscreen). Normally whenever someone changes their phone number, it just notifies the other person that the person has changed their phone number. But in my case, it just created a whole new chat with the person. After I texted with 3 people with my new phone (only 3 chats were on my WhatsApp mainscreen), I got a “banned for spamming” message on my screen. After around 10 hours, they said I could reactivate my account. I put in my phone number and just as I was writing my display name, I received another ban. Now I just got my account back a second time so hopefully the same error doesn’t happen! I’m really upset by this and I hope WhatsApp manages to fix it.
