    @WhatsApp So @WhatsApp does not have a team to resolve the issue of wrongfully banning people's accounts for no reason? My account got banned after whatsapp kept on pressuring me to subscribe for their verification which was too expensive for me so I didn't.

    @finkd @WhatsApp WhatsApp in 2025: Can’t register. Can’t verify. Can’t get help. It's not a messaging app anymore — it's a dead app store icon. If Meta won’t fix it, they should bury it.

    @WhatsApp @wa_status Hate the WhatsApp Status feature. Used to block it by denying contact access, but seems broken on iOS now. WhatsApp, before you meet Facebook’s fate, please give us an option to disable Status completely. Thanks!
