In my own opinion, WhatsApp is a great app for communicating with family and any communities, it's pretty simple and easy to use once you understand the settings, but it would be better if there was an in-app browser, similar to messenger, for whenever someone sends a link, and you don't have to go into chrome or any browser app you have, since I've noticed in both the reviews and the people I know who use WhatsApp, they'd prefer in-app browsers as well. But overall, a really easy to use app!!𔘓

The app is overall very nice. But I've recently started to face a problem with the new avatar feature. My WhatsApp is up to date, but it doesn't show the avatar option in the settings. But when I go to search in settings and type "Avatar" it shows the option. And when I click on the option, nothing happens. So I'm not able to use the avatar feature due to this issue. Rest is okay.

WhatsApp is in general good but has some disadvantages. Firstly, it automatically deleted messages I try to send many times and does not let me edit messages when I typed something wrong, showing a completely different message. Apart from that, it has a feature which lets you post things happening with music on it. The voice recordings are high quality and there isn't much delay ( apart from whenever I try to edit a message) Overall, very good
