Updates always break functionality while adding "features" nobody asked for. Updated Feb2025. WA now opens a menu of file types when attaching something. Before you could just pick what you wanted. It doesn't display all my albums when sending pics. Long pressing the "gallery" file type opens my photo gallery but it's buggy and slower and doesn't display mp4 or all of my gifs like it did before. I now have to share my files from my gallery app to WA as a work-around. I dread their updates.

I was really hoping for a smooth messaging experience, but WhatsApp has been a letdown. The app frequently crashes and the notifications are inconsistent, which makes it frustrating to keep up with conversations. Plus, the user interface can feel cluttered at times. I also have concerns about privacy and data security. Overall, I expected more from such a popular app. Time to look for alternatives

I noticed that recently after updates, when listening to voice notes, if it's a long voice note the voice note will stop when the screen goes off. Dunno why it's doing this. Before it wasn't like that. Also noticed that missed calls are not shown on screen, but only when you open WA and check you chats you will see the missed call label inside the chat. Please work on a feature that allows you to block Whatsapp video/ calls in general or for a scheduled time.
