Easy to use and just an amazing app to stay connected and share pictures and videos with everyone! EDIT: down to 1 star after update. Choosing photos to upload is horrible now! It doesn't show all my photos. The drop down menu to select the album sucks too. If I choose to see more, it only shows me 5 "collections" It used to be much easier before. I don't know why or how or who approved this but it sucks BAD.

App works fine for the most part, but anytime one person is on their desktop, the other people on the experience and echo on calls. It seems that WhatsApp removed their echo cancelation feature for desktop, as this hasn't been an issue for other similar apps like zoom and teams. It works fine when everyone is on their phone though. The issue is really annoying please update the app for desktop.

Beautiful app for messaging and all, but the voice call and video call needs to b worked on massively. Now, about 2 months ago, I can no longer upload songs on my status, I can not even lace an image with a track and share. It keeps coming up with the same phrase. "Sharing failed, try again later." Why?! I've deleted cache, updated, and restarted my phone, everything, but it's still persists, and it's frustrating, ngl. Is it a device issue or what? it doesn't make sense. HOW DO YOU FIX IT?!
