Review of WhatsApp


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Voice message constantly stops playing through loud speaker when moving the phone!!!

I love whatsapp for voice messaging - however, why the hell is all this fancy update for names and ai being added to the app when really the company should be updating the user experience instead - for example: we should be able to turn off the proximity sensor that whatsapp uses through our phone hardware!! If I am listening to a voice message which is always on loud speaker, I shouldn’t have to keep my phone a certain way to stop it randomly going to my ear speaker in my phone just because I picked my phone up to take with me while I am listening to the voice message!!! There should be a manual option for loud speaker or ear speaker not just automatic!!! We have this for phone calls so why on Earth is it not the same for voice messages!!!!!!????? Heavily frustrating indeed!!!!!!!!
