WhatsApp WhatsApp: Not for Everyone - A Review of the App's Risks and Limitations

I gotta say, I wouldn't recommend WhatsApp to anyone. I mean, sure, some folks might find it useful, but I had a pretty bad experience with it. I didn't even know what it was until I downloaded it, and then I found out that it's basically just a way for people to hide from you. I mean, seriously, why wouldn't someone just call you instead of using this thing?

And don't even get me started on the people who use it. Seems like everyone on a dating site is using WhatsApp these days. I don't know about you, but that seems pretty sketchy to me. Like, why do they need to use this app instead of just texting or calling like a normal person?

Plus, the whole international area code thing is just confusing. I mean, I'm from the US, so I don't have to deal with that nonsense, but I can imagine it would be a real pain if you're not used to it. And even if you do enter the right area code, you still don't really know where the other person is. They could be anywhere in that country!

So yeah, I'd say just be careful with this app. It might work for some people, but it's definitely not for everyone. Just make your own decision and be aware of the risks.

WhatsApp Review: How Whatsapp has made my work life easier

Whatsapp is a great app that has made my daily work life a lot easier. It's amazing how it allows me to communicate with my colleagues through audio, video, and text messaging. The best part is that it's a free platform that only requires internet connectivity. I love the unique features that Whatsapp offers, such as photo sharing, file transfer, video calling, and much more. It's really easy to use and has made my life so much easier.

Whatsapp is not just for personal use, it's also playing an important role in business activities. There are a lot of business groups on Whatsapp that are doing their business activities successfully through this platform. I have personally used Whatsapp for sharing reviews and getting updates from my colleagues about their jobs. It's really convenient and saves a lot of time.

However, there are some drawbacks to Whatsapp. It only works through internet connectivity, which can be a major issue if you don't have a stable internet connection. Video calls require a stable connection, which can be a problem if you're in an area with poor internet connectivity. Despite these drawbacks, I still think that Whatsapp is a great app that has made my life a lot easier.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Great for Smartphone Users, But Limited for Others

I recently got introduced to WhatsApp by a friend who wanted to collaborate with me on a project. I was excited to try out the app on my computer, but when I opened it, I was greeted with some confusing instructions. The app told me to "Open WhatsApp on your phone," which was impossible for me since I don't have a smartphone. I only have a landline and a flip cell phone, both of which are not compatible with the app.

I was disappointed that the app required a phone to operate, and I couldn't understand why anyone would design a laptop or desktop app that was so limiting. I mean, isn't the whole point of using a computer to have more functionality and convenience? It seemed like WhatsApp was missing the mark on this one.

Despite my frustration, I decided to give the app a chance and downloaded it on my friend's phone. Once I got it set up, I was impressed with the features it offered. I could send messages, make calls, and even share files with my friend. It was a great way to stay connected and work together on our project.

However, I still couldn't shake the feeling that the app was missing out on a huge market by not being compatible with non-smartphone users. I know I'm not the only one who doesn't have a smartphone, and it seems like a missed opportunity for WhatsApp to exclude such a large group of potential users.

Overall, I think WhatsApp is a great app for those who have smartphones and want to stay connected with friends and colleagues. But if you're like me and don't have a smartphone, you might want to look for a different collaboration app that doesn't require a phone to operate.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Pros and Cons of the Messaging Service

I recently downloaded WhatsApp on my new iPhone and I must say, it has been quite a hassle trying to connect with my contacts. I gave WhatsApp permission to access my phone's contacts, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to recognize any of them. I have tried everything to troubleshoot the issue, but to no avail. It's frustrating because if someone requests to be contacted only through WhatsApp, I have to send them a message through my iPhone to let them know that I am trying to connect with them on WhatsApp.

It's a complete nightmare trying to connect with others on this messaging service. I mean, if you have someone's number, why can't you just text them directly through WhatsApp? Why do you have to jump through all these hoops just to send a simple message? I have found that other messaging services like Google Voice and WeChat are far easier, more direct, and more reliable.

Despite these issues, I do appreciate some of the features that WhatsApp offers. For example, I like the fact that you can create groups and easily communicate with multiple people at once. I also appreciate the end-to-end encryption, which provides an added layer of security for my messages.

Overall, I would say that WhatsApp has its pros and cons. While it does offer some useful features, the connectivity issues and hoops you have to jump through to send a message can be quite frustrating. If you're looking for a messaging service that is more user-friendly and reliable, I would recommend checking out some of the other options available.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Free Messaging, Calls, and Video Chats with a Cool Deletion Feature

Yo, so I was checking out WhatsApp and I gotta say, it's pretty dope. Like, you can message your friends and fam for free and even make calls and video chats. Plus, they got this cool feature where you can delete messages if you accidentally send something you didn't mean to. But, there's this bug that Novice secrets found that lets you delete groups created on a certain version. It's not perfect though, cuz you can only delete the group and not individual messages.

To do the hack, you gotta go to Apps under Settings, choose WhatsApp and Force Stop, then go to Date & Time under Settings and disable Automatic Date & Time. It's kinda complicated, but if you really need to delete a group, it's worth it.

The only downside is that if you delete a message after the group has been deleted by the bug, you're outta luck. But, there's this Spanish blog that claims to have a solution, so maybe check that out. Overall, WhatsApp is pretty sweet and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a free messaging app.

WhatsApp Frustrated with WhatsApp's Verification Process: A Review

This app has been causing me a lot of frustration lately. I wasn't happy with using my cell phone to communicate with my friends and family because I felt like my privacy wasn't secure enough. Even though I had to give them my phone number, I still didn't feel safe. So, I decided to try out WhatsApp.

At first, I thought it was great. I could message my friends and family without giving them my phone number. But then, I read that even if I delete the app, my account isn't deleted. This made me feel uneasy. I didn't want my personal information just hanging out there on the web.

So, I decided to uninstall the app and start fresh. But when I tried to reinstall it, the system message said that I would get a verification notification in 13 hours. That's crazy! I needed to use the app right away. So, I selected the call back option, thinking it would be faster. But after the message said my call back request was accepted, nothing happened. I didn't get a verification call.

I was so frustrated by this point that I selected the wrong number option, hoping it would reset everything. But then, I got a verification call while I was trying to get into the app to input the verification code. And to make matters worse, the call hung up before I could even enter the code.

Now, I'm back at step one, waiting for a verification code before I can even delete this useless app. I'm so disappointed with WhatsApp. I thought it would be a great alternative to texting, but it's just caused me more stress and frustration.

WhatsApp WhatsApp's Support is a Disaster: Terrible In-App and Email Support, Paradise for Scammers

The support on WhatsApp is just terrible. When you try to get help through the in-app support, you're met with a bot that only understands English. Even if you write in your own language, it won't understand a thing. It's like talking to a small child who doesn't know anything. And when you're done, it asks if you're satisfied with the response, which is usually a copy-paste message that doesn't solve anything.

The email support is just as bad. I wrote in my own language, but the bot couldn't translate it and asked me to write in English. What the heck? And when you finally get a response, it takes forever. They say you'll get a reply in three days, but it's more like three weeks.

This is a paradise for scammers because of the terrible support. I reported a scammer a month ago, but they're still online every day, scamming people left and right. It's ridiculous. Everywhere else, you get banned for the slightest infraction, but here, scam corporations are running rampant, scamming hundreds of people every day for months.

I've given up reporting anything because of the terrible support. I don't trust anyone on this platform anymore. It's a shame because WhatsApp used to be a great app, but now it's just a mess.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Needs to Address Fake Messages and Scams for a Safer User Experience

It's really annoying when you keep getting so many fake forwards and messages from random & unknown people who keep forwarding such messages and may get benefits from it. How whatsapp allow such spam activity to happen and fraudulent people and websites to do such fraud.

I mean, come on, WhatsApp! You gotta do something about this. It's not fair that we have to deal with all these fake messages and scams. I don't know about you, but I don't have time for that kind of nonsense.

There should be a feature that should only allow an unknown person to send a friend request and not a message directly. And if we know a person, only after adding him or her, he or she should be allowed to send messages. That way, we can control who we talk to and who we don't.

And also there should be a feature that should allow app user to choose what kind of messages we want to receive and what we don't want to receive. I mean, seriously, why can't we have that? It's not rocket science.

I felt that people here fool innocent people with some fun and spam activities by misusing the names of Genuine websites and asking them to forward the message to 10 or more people so you would get benefits and miracle happen to the reader. I think such noscense messages should not be allowed on such a social app that has huge usability and following.

I mean, it's just not right. People are taking advantage of others and it's not fair. WhatsApp needs to step up and do something about it. We need to be able to trust this app and feel safe using it.

And also one knows that the app is free of cost and help many people to exchange messages and call each other for free. But It would be helpful if there would be safety and security on whatsapp that would allow people to trust them.

I mean, we all love that WhatsApp is free and helps us stay connected with our friends and family. But we need to be able to trust it. We need to know that our information is safe and that we're not going to be bombarded with fake messages and scams.

I discontinued the services as I was not able to get the solution of so many such bad and negative things happening to me on this app. It's just not worth it. I hope WhatsApp can make some changes and make the app a safer and more enjoyable place to be.

WhatsApp Thrilling and Heartwarming: A Review of The Kite Runner

Hi WhatsApp is the pits
I have been scammed by a romance scamming woman for money and stolen my identity open bank accounts in my name without my knowledge and all the corruption you could imagine running a business account she is on WhatsApp have complained to WhatsApp in the strongest terms to shut this person down guess what they have closed the complaint and covering for the romance scammer so she can keep scamming other men through her WhatsApp. WhatsApp should be shutdown allowing scammers like her to scam men from anywhere in the world without them ever finding out what country they are in this is crook really crook I suggest no one should use WhatsApp or similar devices because it allows the criminals identity and there location to be covered up not revealed. Whatever you do don't use WhatsApp that's my only advice I'm not interested in the usual online drivel I'm telling it as it is this is what's happened to me and WhatsApp is quite happy to let it go on they are rotten they should do the right thing and shut this characters business down immediately the only business she's running on WhatsApp is ripping men off across Australia with promises of love and marriage with her phony beautiful woman photos and WhatsApp is covering for her and other criminals from Nigeria WhatsApp should be disbanded deregistered and run out of town put out of business immediately
This is the one Lily Aiden WhatsApp business account can't believe WhatsApp is covering for criminals like her I have made a trip to western Australia a week ago and nobody knows her photo and nobody has heard of her in waroona WA where she claimed her address was for 4 years rotten to the core
I know it's a woman I spoke to her several times on the phone she was always in a hurry to get off the phone now I know why

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Great for Communication, But Needs a Timed Message Feature and Fix for Reconnecting Issue

WhatsApp is the best app for video and audio calls, as well as sharing data and files. I use it every day and haven't had any problems. However, since I work night shifts, sometimes I can't text people right away because it's too early in the morning. It would be very helpful if there was a 'timed message' feature, similar to a scheduled email, where I could set the time and date for a text to be sent so I don't have to worry about forgetting or texting too early.

Unfortunately, instead of improving and adding useful functions, WhatsApp has taken some away. For example, you can no longer press on the name or number of a person in a group and message them directly. Instead, it shows you their picture, so you have to look them up in the long list of group members if you want to contact that person in private. It's frustrating that they haven't yet added the function of scheduling messages, which would be so useful for busy people and for those times when you remember too early or too late in the day to message someone.

I wouldn't recommend WhatsApp for businesses, but it's very helpful for individual usage. It delivers quick, timely, functional, and consistent communication between any two individuals over half decent Wi-Fi. It has its kinks, like kicking you off once you start running low on storage or automatically downloading the photos of friends when you forgot to unselect that option. But overall, it's a great program to use! I am very satisfied with WhatsApp messenger.

However, I have been facing a "reconnecting" issue for a long time. Whenever I receive or make a call, the first thing that appears is "reconnecting," and then the breakdown starts. It happens time and again during every call, making it hard to have a conversation with anyone. I would like to request that WhatsApp resolves this issue because I'm unable to have a conversation with anyone while the issue is there. Thank you.

WhatsApp Be cautious: A review of Whatsapp's privacy concerns and alternatives

Whatsapp is a messaging app that you can use to talk to your friends and family. It's pretty cool because you can send messages, pictures, and even make phone calls. But, you gotta be careful because they might be looking at everything you say and sharing it with other people. That's not cool at all. You don't want your private conversations to be sold to the highest bidder, do you? So, I would suggest finding a different app to use. There are lots of other options out there that won't sell you out like Whatsapp might. Don't say I didn't warn you!

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Free and Easy to Use, but with Minor Annoyances

I mean, it's free and it's easy to use, so I can't really complain too much. But seriously, why can't I save the statuses? That's just annoying. And the emoji they use for the statuses are just plain ugly. I mean, come on, can't they find some better ones?

But aside from those minor complaints, WhatsApp is a pretty decent app. I like that I can easily message my friends and family without having to pay for text messages. And the fact that I can make voice and video calls for free is pretty awesome too.

I also like that I can create groups for different things, like my family group or my work group. It's nice to be able to keep everything organized like that. And the fact that I can easily switch between my personal chats and my group chats is pretty convenient too.

Overall, I'd say that WhatsApp is a pretty good app. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. And hey, it's free, so I can't really complain too much. If you're looking for an easy way to stay in touch with your friends and family, then WhatsApp is definitely worth checking out.

WhatsApp Experience the Benefits of Whatsapp: A Review of the Amazing App

the benefits of this amazing app.

I've been using Whatsapp for a while now and I must say, it's been a great experience. The app is easy to use and navigate, and the interface is user-friendly. You can easily send messages, photos, videos, and even voice notes to your friends and family. And the best part is, it's free!

One of the things I love about Whatsapp is the end-to-end encryption feature. This means that your messages and calls are secured and can only be accessed by you and the person you're communicating with. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my chats are private and cannot be intercepted by hackers or third-party apps.

Another great feature of Whatsapp is the ability to make video calls. With the new update, you can now make video calls with up to 8 people at a time. This is perfect for group meetings or catching up with friends and family who live far away. The video quality is also great, and the calls are very clear and smooth.

Overall, I highly recommend Whatsapp to anyone looking for a safe and secure messaging app. It's free, easy to use, and has great features that make communication with friends and family a breeze. So what are you waiting for? Download Whatsapp now and start chatting!

Is WhatsApp legit?

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds WhatsApp to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 0% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, WhatsApp is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with WhatsApp, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

WhatsApp earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

WhatsApp has received 2 positive reviews on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

WhatsApp has registered the domain name for whatsapp.com for more than one year, which may indicate stability and longevity.

Whatsapp.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Whatsapp.com you are considering visiting, which is associated with WhatsApp, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

WhatsApp website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While WhatsApp has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 0% of 10 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to WhatsApp. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Poor Customer Service and Message Disappearance Issues

I gotta say, WhatsApp ain't the best app for texting. I've had messages disappear into the abyss and my account got banned for no good reason. And let me tell you, their customer service is straight up terrible. Like, the worst I've ever seen. They're rude, unhelpful, and don't give a hoot about their customers. They don't even care if your messages go missing! So, if you're looking for a texting app, I'd suggest finding something else.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Great for Staying in Touch, but Voice Message Issue on iPhone 7 Plus

I gotta say, I've been having some trouble with WhatsApp on my iPhone 7 plus. The voice messages are coming in super quiet, like I can barely hear them! I've tried resetting my phone and the app itself, but the problem just won't go away. It's weird, because I can send voice messages just fine on other apps like iMessage, and even from the same iPhone, but for some reason WhatsApp is giving me trouble.

Anyway, I did figure out a workaround - I tried using headphones and that seemed to do the trick. But still, it's kind of annoying to have to use headphones every time I want to listen to a voice message on WhatsApp. I've heard from some other folks with iPhone 7s that they're having the same issue, so I hope the WhatsApp team can fix this soon.

Overall, though, I do really like using WhatsApp. It's a great way to stay in touch with friends and family, especially if they're in different countries. I love that you can send messages, voice notes, photos, and even make calls all for free. Plus, the interface is really easy to use and I like that you can see when someone's read your message.

One thing I wish WhatsApp had was a way to schedule messages. Sometimes I'll think of something I want to say to someone, but I don't want to bother them if it's late at night or early in the morning. It would be great if I could schedule the message to send at a more appropriate time.

All in all, though, I'm a big fan of WhatsApp and I'll keep using it despite the voice message issue. I just hope they can fix it soon!

WhatsApp Disappointed with WhatsApp's Customer Service: My Account Got Hacked and Banned

So, I had a bit of a problem with WhatsApp. My account got hacked and then my number got banned. I was pretty upset about it, so I decided to email support to see if they could help me out. But, when I got their reply, I was pretty disappointed. They basically told me that there was nothing they could do to help me out. I mean, seriously? That's just ridiculous.

The email said that they had reason to believe that my account activity had violated their Terms of Service. They also said that they had received a large number of complaints about my account. But, they wouldn't tell me what those complaints were about. They said that they were protecting their users' privacy, which I guess is fair enough. But, it still doesn't really help me out.

The worst part is that they said that they wouldn't be reading any responses to the email thread. So, I can't even try to explain my side of things or try to get them to reconsider their decision. It's just really frustrating.

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with WhatsApp's customer service. I understand that they have to protect their users' privacy and all that, but it seems like they could have at least tried to help me out a little bit. I guess I'll just have to find a different messaging app to use from now on.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Review: Great App for Staying Connected, But One Major Drawback

WhatsApp is a great app for staying connected with friends and family. It allows you to send messages, pictures, videos, and audio clips to anyone in your contact list. However, there is one major drawback that I have noticed while using this app.

If someone posts something in a group chat and then decides that they don't want anyone in the group to see it, they can delete it. But the problem is that the message or media file is only deleted from their device. All the other members of the group can still see it. This can be a bit frustrating, especially if the content was inappropriate or offensive.

I have noticed that this problem doesn't exist on Facebook, which is another popular social media platform. So, I would like to request the developers of WhatsApp to look into this issue and come up with a proper solution. Maybe they can design a query that will ensure that when someone deletes a message or media file from a group chat, it is deleted from all the devices of the group members.

Apart from this issue, I think WhatsApp is a great app that is easy to use and has a lot of useful features. I especially like the fact that you can create groups and add multiple people to them. This makes it easy to stay in touch with a large group of people at once.

Overall, I would recommend WhatsApp to anyone who wants to stay connected with their friends and family. It's a great app that has a few minor issues that can be easily fixed.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Business: A Pathetic Company with No Standards

I had a really bad experience with WhatsApp Business. They banned my number without any warning, and it was a real pain to get it unblocked. I sent them 30 emails over 8 days, and they only replied 3 times. Every time they said that I hadn't broken any of their terms and conditions, and that they had unblocked my number. But even after all that, my WhatsApp still wasn't working.

Honestly, I think WhatsApp is a really pathetic company since it got bought over. They don't have any standards, and they don't follow any rules. They just ban people without thinking about the consequences. It's really frustrating, and I wish there was a competitor that could give them some real competition. Maybe then they would start to care about their customers.

I remember when WhatsApp took over, everyone was so excited about it. But now I think it's time for them to suffer the same fate as Blackberry and Skype. They need to learn that they can't just do whatever they want and expect people to keep using their app.

WhatsApp WhatsApp Chat Histories Keep Disappearing - Frustrating User Experience

I've been using WhatsApp for a while now and I have to say, I'm not too happy with the recent changes. It seems like every morning I wake up to find that one or two chat histories have disappeared. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's starting to get really frustrating.

I'm using a MOTO G4 Plus mobile phone and I recently did a Google search to see if anyone else was having the same issue. It turns out that there are a lot of people out there who are experiencing the same thing. I'm not sure why WhatsApp hasn't addressed this issue yet, but I've sent them over 25 emails and I still haven't received a response.

I've tried everything to fix the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app at least five times, and I even reset my phone, but nothing seems to work. I've even stopped using my antivirus and cleaning apps to avoid any confusion, but the problem still persists.

Overall, I'm really disappointed with WhatsApp right now. I rely on this app to stay in touch with my friends and family, and it's frustrating to see that my chat histories keep disappearing. I hope that WhatsApp will address this issue soon, because it's really starting to affect my user experience.

WhatsApp WhatsApp's Lack of Data Backup Options and Recycle Bin: A Frustrating Experience

I recently had an experience with WhatsApp that left me feeling quite frustrated. I was in the middle of a routine update when the app suddenly crashed and all of my data was lost. I couldn't believe it! I had important messages and files saved on there that I thought were safe.

After doing some research, I discovered that WhatsApp doesn't actually save your messages and files to the cloud unless you manually connect it to iCloud or Google Drive. This means that if your phone gets lost or stolen, you can say goodbye to all of your messages and files. I wish I had known this beforehand, as it would have saved me a lot of trouble.

One thing that really bothers me about WhatsApp is that there is no trash bin or recycle bin like there is on a computer. Once a message or file is deleted, it's gone forever. This is a major flaw in my opinion, as accidents happen and it's easy to accidentally delete something important.

Overall, I still use WhatsApp because it's a convenient way to communicate with friends and family. However, I now make sure to regularly back up my messages and files to the cloud to avoid losing them in the future. I just wish that WhatsApp would make it easier to do this and would provide more warning about the risks of not backing up your data.

About WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a popular messaging application that allows users to send text messages, make voice and video calls, and share media files with their contacts. It was founded in 2009 by two former Yahoo employees, Brian Acton and Jan Koum, and was later acquired by Facebook in 2014.

One of the key features of WhatsApp is its end-to-end encryption, which ensures that only the sender and recipient of a message can read its contents. This means that even WhatsApp itself cannot access the messages exchanged between users, providing a high level of privacy and security.

WhatsApp has become a ubiquitous communication tool, with over 2 billion active users worldwide. It is available in over 180 countries and supports more than 60 languages. The app is free to download and use, making it accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

In addition to its messaging and calling features, WhatsApp also offers a range of other useful tools. Users can create groups to chat with multiple people at once, share their location with friends and family, and even make payments through the app in some countries.

Overall, WhatsApp has revolutionized the way people communicate with each other, providing a fast, reliable, and secure platform for staying in touch with loved ones and colleagues around the world. Its popularity shows no signs of slowing down, and it is likely to remain a key player in the messaging app market for years to come.
