Technical Support and NO actual support I've been using this app since 2013, and as of late, all these privacy updates are actually pointless. I was able to exempt people from viewing my status, and now, even though it's marked "my contacts except," those very people are still able to view my status. I tried contacting whatsapp multiple times, and their feedback was useless. I got auto messages about how to adjust my settings, which clearly I know how to do, but it's NOT WORKING. I'm over it!

The latest update to the beta version broke the app, where it would crash continuously. So I exited the beta and reinstalled the app. But it refuses to restore my messages from the backup. I'd never put a password on it, and yet it asked for one. 7+ years of messages that survived 4 phones gone in an instant. You guys need to do better when releasing updates. This is a joke!

What a disappointing frustration it has, that update after update this app undergoes no positive improvement. It has remained basically as rudimentary as it has been for quite a long time. Had it enjoyed a cloud-based platform, had it granted better capabilities in bilateral deletion/edition of messages, had it concealed the phone numbers/other privacies of the users, had it provided them with more options ( polls, streams, ability to record chat calls etc.) it could even outcompete all others
