Ratings and Reviews
Great app, plus some ideas to improve it further.
This is a really great app, I’ve had this app since I was in high school, I’ve had other social social media apps, but always come back to this one.
I have some ideas when it comes to the AI features. Is it possible to create a life coach AI?
There is a career coach, but it would be awesome if there was a life coach as well.
Also, I know that a lot of these AI chats are made using certain programs that probably might not allow the AI to send messages, but if it is possible, could we somehow have it to wear talking with an AI is exactly like talking with another person on WhatsApp?
Meaning that not only will the AI message with you back-and-forth, but every once once in while, you might get a message from the AI.
For example, say that someone wants to use the life coach AI to help with exercising, and one of the things that they would like is accountability. The AI would be able to message the person, checking in on them to see if they did what they said they were gonna do.
Or, say someone was talking to Liv, and they were going through grief. Liv could send the messages every once in while to check on them and see how they’re doing and help them through what they’re going through.
Essentially, it would be like having an actual conversation with someone. It was just a thought that I had. Hope you all are doing well.
Not the worst, Not the best either😑
This app has been my default messaging app for quite awhile now, but my major complaint with this app is the lack of smooth UI movements , it just feels a bit blocky and “rough” if I do say so myself, I also absolutely hate the fact that this new “Meta AI” can’t access your chats and do specific things like send one image to multiple ppl at a time which would make for a pretty cool feature I know there’s probably ppl screaming at me right now saying that broadcast groups exist for a reason, but then I wouldn’t want to go through the hassle of creating a group just for sending an image, I also really like the new channels which I think are pretty cool, apart from a few things here and there this app is pretty much perfect and will continue to be my primary messenger. Edit- Oh yeah, also one more thing when is THE WHATSAPP iPad APP GON COME OUT? I’m tired of using these buggy third-party apps to check my WhatsApp chats on my iPad pls release the WhatsApp app for the iPad, I feel like this alone knocks out a whole star, went from being a 4 star review to a 3 star review
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.
