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!

...more like disappearing privacy by cross-platform fingerprinting devices/ networks/ contact info for targeted ads. No thanks, deleted just like my Facebook years ago. And in-app still portraying things as if the users privacy is protected, respected bla bla bla. Yea between end -users perhaps, but not against WhatsApp brought to you by Facebook, globally the number one offender of privacy-rights having built an entire multi-billion empire of data harvesting/ distributing sold to the highest bidder. I’m sure you’ll continue to have millions of ignorant sheepl that ‘don’t care about their privacy’ and willingly or unknowingly hand over all their data not aware of the repercussions of big tech companies knowing every detail about their life’s. There’s a reason they can’t do this in Europe, cos ppls privacy is better protected by European privacy laws. But the rest of the world is bound to fall victim to these data-vultures. There’s many messaging apps that ARE private. Like the one where the founder of WhatsApp went to cos he didn’t agree with the direction Facebook went with this app. I’ll follow the founder of the original WhatsApp. Not this Facebook messenger dressed up like the original WhatsApp app.

So my friends and I have debated back and forth whether if to use whatsapp or imessage as our primary way of communicating for as long as I can remember. In all honesty we frequently switched back and forth. However, ever since whatsapp released stickers, there is no debate. My whole entire city/everyone I know constantly trades stickers like pokemon cards & it makes our conversations 10 times funnier. We also create our own stickers using other apps. Our biggest request is to please allow us to organize our stickers (maybe by sorting them into folders/tabs) because we have so many and they get lost in the bunch. Another great idea would be to have access to create new stickers directly through whatsapp instead of a third party application. Please take these things into consideration. I never write reviews but we’ve all genuinely said it for months that we wish we could organize our stickers.
