    @WhatsApp We need an update for both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business because when you turn off your data and switch on at anytime you won’t get your already loaded status but you’ll rather get the new ones posted by your contact list at the time you switched on your data. Please fix it

  • HgMvM HariganeshMnair (@HgMvM) reported

  • Rokade_01 SHUBHAM ROKADE 🇮🇳 (@Rokade_01) reported

    4. And there are many more such loopholes which need to be solved otherwise It is directly injustice to the users who honestly and genuinely care about their privacy. I hope you @WhatsApp resolve these issues as soon as possible and improve your security policy.

    @WhatsApp My account was hacked by a person, and he contacted me asking for money . I contacted you via e-mail several times, a case was opened from another number, there is no response from you. There is no longer security in WhatsApp, and there is no service from you for your customers.

  • BatshOnline Batsh online (@BatshOnline) reported

    @WhatsApp I think there should on and off option for people's status update cos even if you mute them the traffic will still be affecting your WhatsApp to be hanging/freezing. This option would help people with large audience on WhatsApp to reduce hanging issues.
