WhatsApp Messenger 12+

The most recent update of voice messages is exactly what I've been waiting for! Voice messages have become such an important way to communicate over whatsapp now and the new update allows me to write notes or work in something else simultaneously while listening to my voice notes. Thank you. Plus, I can close my screen and still listen - saving battery life.

The only other thing at this point I'd love to see are more quality options for sharing large videos or images. Ie: be able to send your content in either a high quality version or dramatically smaller and compressed version (to save data). With that, could you also display how long a video can be to be sent completely, as I've had situations of videos I've made being cut in half due to (I'm assuming) length or size.

Thank you for constantly making this app even better!

WhatsApp has been around for a while now, it mature, stable and reliable.

However I keep running into this issue whereby voice notes don't play from the loudspeaker, making them inaudible. I’m forced to force close the app and then reopen it, then only will the voicenote play from my phone loudspeakers. I had this issue on my 11, 12 Pro and now 15 Pro Max.

Please fix this bug cause it's seriously inconveniencing to have to force close the app just so that I can hear a voice note. The app must be able to differentiate voicenotes from calls, cause when I experience that issue, my voicenotes will be playing from the earpiece speaker at the top🤷🏾‍♂️...after restarting the app then it begins to play from my bottom speakers

I was disappointed that when I changed cell phones from iPhone 5s to 7 I lost all my Whatsapp histories. I had thought Whatsapp had its own saving method. I hadn’t saved Whatsapp to the iCloud. I didn’t think that was necessary. Anyhow I found that kind of disappointing.

I wanted to send Whatsapp’s to myself e.g. when I need to make a quick note about something. I couldn’t do that on my new phone. I had to create a group Whatsapp and delete everyone else but me. Then only could I send Whatsapp’s to myself.

I get a lot of joy out of Whatsapp. I like knowing that a message is delivered or read. I use voice note to help me memorize stuff. We use video calls to be in touch with loved ones.
