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. 👍🏻💚💯

Great app if you have wifi and need to pop off a few text messages but if you use it to make a call, prepare to get frustrated and angry. You'll get about 30 seconds before either you can't hear them or they can't hear you. This "feature" is worthless and shouldn't be advertised. I don't want any "get ahold of so and so to help solve the problem" I just want it fixed update: it NEVER gets better with new wifi or device!

Whatsapp by far has been one the the best apps to call and message others but it's been a week and there is a bug with this app, I can't even open the app, when I try to open it, it crashes instantly and closes, I restarted my phone, cleared whatsapp's cache, force stopped it, but it just won't work, I have so many important messages on there from work and other places, I've contacted support but they won't help either, I will change this rating when they fix this bug. It is seriously annoying.
