Customer service is extremely bad! I had to transfer my back up from the old phone to the new phone. I've tried it 3 times but got the message that it failed, without any explanation message. But I knew that I could back up using my email address. This option didn't work so I got only the group chats that I was a member of. I reached out to the helpdesk, and explained the situation. The person who answered, responded by giving me the option to transfer from the old phone to the new phone! Rdcls

Unnecessarily slow and heavy. Always has to 'perform maintenance' at inconvenient moments. Keep loosing messages when switching between phones. Non-sensical default sharing suggestions. Strange media (image/ video files) management policies... It's just very disappointing how many things they manage to get wrong in such a basic app.

Please add a feature on the WhatsApp channels so you can delete "failed to send" messages. I happen to have a couple of channels for fun, and for some reason, on this one channel, whenever I try to send a video, it will almost always fail.. At first, I didn't mind, but when the "failed to send" video is still clearly seen on your screen with no option to delete it..? It gets irritating, especially when it takes up so much space.
