WhatsApp Messenger 12+

Ok so I generally love the app. But with the new update came something peculiar about the voice message. Now you can keep listening to the voice even if you turned off the phone or switched to another app, but the catch is that if you’re listening to music and you start to listen to a voice the music doesn’t start automatically after you’re done listening to the voice. Now you have to enter the music app and press play so you can keep listening to the song. I don’t really like that. Another thing I don’t like is that if you take out the read receipts you can’t see if someone saw your status. And that’s really frustrating because you took out the read receipts so no one in the CHATS could see if you saw their text. Not for the status. I would really appreciate it if you took out those two things. Please and thank you!

This app has so far been very useful and reliable for me. I would absolutely love to see a couple features added that I believe wouldn’t be too difficult! If you can add a feature to give the option for speeding up the playback of long voice messages that would be amazing! I am getting this app to replace Voxer, which now has way too many bugs to even reasonably try to use for professional applications anymore. We use these apps to have a group chats active for our studio that we run. So far this app is very solid and working great, but I do really miss the ability to speed up those long messages, as we are using it primarily for voice since the subject matter we discuss in these groups is often too much to type.
Also in a group chat, it would be excellent if there were notifications right in the chat window to let you know who has seen the message and who has not seen the message, like the way Facebook messenger/Voxer does. I know you can access that information but it’s in a sub menu and not something you can just see at a glance.
Just thoughts and recommendations on things that I feel would round the app out and make it a serious workhorse!! Thanks for the great app otherwise!

I have been using WhatsApp for many years now, everything have been working really good and I’ve done a weekly backup since I have WhatsApp. I downloaded WhatsApp business and all the chats were transferred correctly. When I tried to go back to my personal WhatsApp all the chats were erased and it said the last backup had been on August 31 of 2019. I lost all the important information I had. Also, the app said the last iCloud backup was on august 31 of 2019. I tried to do that one and it says cannot be done because I had no storage on my phone. I checked and I had more than half of iCloud storage (I pay for it). I contacted WhatsApp and they told me to call apple that might be an iCloud problem. I called apple and I restored the phone and updated it with the last backup that had been done the last May 11 of 2020. When I open WhatsApp again (which took 2 days to download and I had to delete it and download again) I had already lost all chats and was not even asking me if I wanted to do a backup. I already lost so much important information. I cannot communicate with patients, family and friends, I really need to solve this case urgently.
