I find it very annoying to say the least, recent update noted that is was to fix bugs. Previous version was working just fine. Now it BUGS ME..

I have been noticing a very irritating bug on my new iPhone 15 pro max. Whats app is totally not useable, whenever i try to open my whats app on my phone, it just freezes and slowly plays back the messages that were received when the phone screen was turned off.
Not sure why do we even have to have this play back on first case? Also, using a powerful phone such as an iPhone 15 pro max, it’s totally annoying to believe that a simple whats app won’t work.
Please get it fixed guys, i really cannot keep my WhatsApp on at all the time.

La mise à jour des statuts il se peut que quand on les supprime d’autre personne peuvent encore voir le statut alors qu il est supprimé

Please bring back the colors and the shapes we are used to for over 12 years!
We love WhatsApp so much because the layout has been steady and pretty the same for more than a decade! And now you are changing this to a mid-2010 roundish layout (like some language learning apps or games for kids) and weird colors that look the same but are not. Not to mention the black color all over the tabs… That is so cheap wanting to seem « premium ». Just be as popular as you already are!

Version 2.19.51
Your most recent update, which was supposed include the security update following the NSO group spyware and rolled out Monday May 13/19, makes no mention of it. I am aware Facebook (who owns Whatsapp) has made a server-side change to address this significant security breach however I would like to be informed/assured that the latest Whatsapp update rolled out does in fact address this serious issue.

This app has disconnected my account more than 10 times in the last 2 days. Very inconvenient and I can't seem to figure out why it's doing so. My chat background images have also been reset so I'm guessing it was from a recent update but I didn't get any notifications.

One annoying thing with whatsapp is the absence of control over accepting a group invitation. Anyone can create a group and add you , giving you no choice to accept or decline . Additionally, the option to block a group just like u block a single user should be available.

I think this app is WONDERFUL! But there is some emojis missing, for exemple the GIRAFFE emoji! Some people like me, love giraffes! So please, can you make an emoji giraffe?
