From Luca Rawston

Thank you a lot for making this messaging app i really appreciate it. I hope you guys can make more but also can you help homeless people it will really make my day. You for making this a safe area to text people about

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Pretty good so far ngl

Just got it literally a few days ago and it’s pretty chill. Seems pretty secure and lots of features to work with. I reckon it’ll be more fun once I get to know it better tho. Only downside is it adds new contacts to itself and not messages when you do the phone to phone thing to get other peoples phone numbers. U need a phone to get WhatsApp btw. But after you do that you can transfer data to ur iPad. Definitely recommend👍

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Michael

Everyone’s pretty sick of the constant updates

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Please add custom text tone options

Please add custom text tone options. The default Apple ones are painful to hear all the time. It’s not hard to allow other tones already in the iPhone library. Such a basic feature that is still missing.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Awesome sauce

It is amazing I can talk to my friends without charged while in another country.
