WhatsApp is a widely-used messaging app that allows users to send texts, voice messages, and make voice and video calls. Its user-friendly interface makes it accessible for all ages. The end-to-end encryption ensures that conversations remain private and secure. Group chats are a great feature for staying connected with family and friends. The ability to share images, documents, and location adds versatility to communication. However, frequent updates can sometimes lead to bugs. The app consumes a fair amount of data, especially during calls. Overall, WhatsApp is an essential tool for instant communication. Its integration with other apps enhances functionality. The status feature allows users to share moments with contacts. Customer support could be improved, as responses can be slow. Despite minor drawbacks, WhatsApp remains a top choice for messaging.
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.
