Ratings and Reviews
New voice message update is exactly what I needed!
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!
Upgrading a Mobile Phone
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.
Notifications for likes
Hi,
In a group, where you are admin and you chose to make the group admin only to send messages. Because you don’t want the group members to get irritated by lots of comments..
I see you can’t turn the likes on or off.. even though messaging says admin only, members can still like the messages with different emojis, so people still get irritated by those notifications , but I don’t want them to mute the group and then miss important messages from the admin. please give the admin and members the option to silent notifications for the likes only or all together, 2 options. Or the choice to only get notified when an admin sends a message. Please let me know if you could do this upgrade? It will make the whole experience so much better. Thank you for the wonderful app
