Ratings and Reviews
I can’t live without WhatsApp
It’s simply the best app for messages, video calls, voice messages, group chats and what have you. I’m the kind of person that loves sending pics and videos to my mates. We can even send documents, PDF and other files, which makes life so much easier for study groups. I’ve been using WhatsApp since its first years and it only gets better and better. I really don’t understand why some people still use messenger. The only improvement that I’d love to see is to be able to make video calls from a computer through WhatsApp Web. This definitely a 5 star app to me.
WhatsApp review
I really love this app because it takes messaging for me to a whole ‘nother level. I can call, FaceTime, and see my friends numbers in just a few presses of a button. I also have the ability to see when they are online or typing as well as when the message is being delivered, when it has been delivered and when they read it. I can also create groups and invite friends plus call more than one person at a time. I really love this and I will be using it every day! Five star for anyone who wants to message better.
Spam and overnight messages
I do like the functionality of WhatsApp for messaging friends. However there are 2 issues I wish could be resolved.
I wish that notifications of messages would suspend when I put my iPhone in do not disturb mode. I turn off notifications for groups in different timezones to avoid being awoken at night.
The second issue is more pressing: spam messages. I was woken up by a spam message from someone in another time zone. I don’t want spam. I especially don’t want spam while I sleep. I updated the app but still can’t report the spammer, which would limit the volume of unsolicited messages that can be sent.
