the sound of clicking and sending voice notes got activated automatically after an update and there is no way to turn it down. Me and thousands more are getting crazy on the Internet, there is no way to solve it!!!! I have had my phone on vibrate for many years, no joke, I haven't had the sound activated in years, and it still makes sounds. even if I put it in silence mode where everything is muted, it still makes these sounds!! conversation tones are off and the app still makes the sounds!!

WhatsApp is by far the best messaging app. The only issues are: 1) we can no longer tell when audios are heard by receiver (not sure if theme color affects, but this is a big deal) 2) Info and copy options r in a menu instead of shortcut button at top (along w/reply etc), even though there's still space for it. Makes it inconvenient considering how often those features r used. 3) It would b MUCH better if the read/played time was a timestamp, instead of how long ago, so we don't have to the math

It is basically the best communication app I've ever used since four years ago. I liked to create stickers and statuses for my family on my contacts. I can definitely texted myself to avoid accidentally texting somebody else so awkwardly. The only thing I dislike was when a random stranger called my number unexpectedly and I had to block him/her. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to connect family and friends instantly. 👍🏻💚💯

• Group chats now have a unified Calling icon, with new options to organize calls and select participants for audio or video calls.

Thanks for using WhatsApp!
