1. 4/5Potential improvements

   I love the app and it’s my main communication method. I just have some ideas that would make the app experience better. 1. It would be useful to have the possibility to filter (as you can do with unread messages) the group chats and individual chats. This would help to find chats easier. 2. The possibility to schedule messages to be sent at a certain time would be a major improvement. This would eliminate barriers created from different time zone as the app is used internationally. 3. Many of us use WhatsApp for everything including social and work related communication. And all chats and group chats are mixed together. It would be good to be able to add a label to chats according to a category. Then, you could filter the categories and find the ones that are under the label selected easily. This could be useful to save time and also to be able to prioritize messages. 4. Connected to the possibility to label chats to custom categories, it would be useful to put a schedule when you can receive messages in each label. Since most of us use the app as a work tool, but also as our main communication method. This creates a problem when trying to disconnect from work. It would be useful to pin chats (and group chats) to a category and be able to put certain schedule to when you can receive messages from each category of chats. This could help a lot to separate work from social life. This are just ideas that I would love to see through and hope the app continues to improve.

2. 1/5The worst move yet

   Whats app has been the most reliable and best app for as long as touch screens phone have existed. I lived in many countries. Some people even prefer to only have whats app on their phone. Now whats app has media, and channels and it gets connected with facebook ???? No one asked for that. I understand that instagram is getting replaced with TikTok. And threads didn’t do as needed. But now turning whats app into instagram is by far the dumbest move. Telegram will definitely be winning people now. Whats does connecting my whats app account with facebook do to my end-to-end encryption. Whats app is everyone’s number one choice simply cause its simple. A lot of old people and a lot of disabled people even children. Work,teams,companies, organizations use whats app and whats app groups for a simple use. And in countries in Africa, asia, south America… where internet is much slower. Whats app is easy to use as it only uses data for sending and receiving messages. Now it needs data to upload media and what not. There has been a lot of upgrades, that are nice and helpful, but going to the status section is just overwhelming. Having a second related app, like messenger is to facebook would have been a much better idea. It could be a media based application with a totally new way to view and share that media through whats app chat which can be the normal app. I feel like meta is panicking, all these risky changes are extremely overwhelming. And eventually we’ll witness nokia all over again.

3. 1/5Filled with scammers, not a secure app

   WhatsApp was what I used when I studied abroad to communicate with friends and family, but I unfortunately the app has so many issues that I refuse to use it even if that means it will be more difficult to communicate with those same friends and family living abroad. The app does provide some privacy in messaging, but based on the updated service agreements, it seems clear that Meta plans to use and train large language models on private messages. Additionally, WhatsApp has a series of issues regarding collecting metadata of its users and having nearly total freedom to monetize that information. I hate the idea of an app that claims to provide private and secure communication that is simultaneously monetizing my data. The app is also filled with scammers. I receive near daily notifications from massive cryptocurrency scam groups adding me to group chats promising “massive returns on my investment.” No matter how many times I report these groups, they just keep popping up. I blame the extraction of all contacts from your phone that WhatsApp uses to help you communicate with others through the app. It’s clear that Meta is doing nothing to address these issues and they continue to violate our data while doing nothing. If I could go back and never use the app in the first place, I would do it in a heartbeat. There other options for communication with family and friends abroad that does not come with the same issues that WhatsApp promises.

4. 1/5Absolutely horrible

   WhatsApp is an absolute disaster of an app, and Mark Zuckerberg should be ashamed of what he's turned it into. The platform is nothing more than a data-harvesting machine, stealing every ounce of personal information it can get its hands on. From your private messages to your contacts and location, nothing is sacred. The moment you install WhatsApp, you’ve essentially signed away your privacy, with WhatsApp profiting off your data in ways most people don’t even understand. Let’s not forget that WhatsApp shares your data with advertisers and even other entities within Zuckerberg's empire, constantly bombarding you with targeted ads and influencing your every move. The so-called “privacy settings” are laughable at best—they are intentionally confusing and buried deep within layers of menus, ensuring that most users never have a chance to protect themselves. Zuckerberg and his team have built an empire on the backs of people’s privacy violations, all for the sake of profit. It's no wonder the app is riddled with security issues, invasive tracking, and personal data exploitation. WhatsApp has become more about exploiting its users than providing any kind of meaningful communication. If you're still using WhatsApp, you're essentially handing over your life for free—while Zuckerberg and his company profit off of it. Do yourself a favor: delete your account and find a platform that values your privacy. WhatsApp is a data thief, plain and simple.

5. 1/5End to end encryption password couldn’t be reset!!!

   The WhatsApp support team absolutely not helpfull!!! I explained my situation that I don’t remember setting a password for end to end encryption. I got this phone back in September and everything was fine I was successfully able to back up everything from old phone to the new phone. All of the sudden my voice messages stopped working on whatsapp(which is WhatsApp’s fault again!)a few days ago. I checked what I can do and it was saying on the whatsapp help website first update the app and if it doesn’t work then uninstall and redownload the app. So I did. Before I did that I backed up all the chats so I don’t lose them. When I redownloaded the app SURPRISE!!! I need a password to get access to my chats. Which password? When was it set it up? Even if it was set by me why absolutely nobody was able to help me to reset it. I could verify my identity, number whatever could possibly be asked for. But instead they kept saying they can’t do it. As a result, I lost all of my chats including the ones from my grandmother who passed away 5 months ago. They were my only voice memories from her. If I didn’t have to use WhatsApp for my work purposes I wouldn’t even bother deleting or redownloading the app. Horrible service! If you can’t reset that password why before I’m deleting the app, the app doesn’t ask me for a password or warn me that when I reinstall it I’m gonna need a password?
