    Under my right to access essential medical and personal data, I request this issue be escalated to a human support specialist. Blocking this account is interfering with emergency medical care. @nch1915 @WhatsApp @jagograhakjago

    @sewrie @WhatsApp Thanks. That works well if you want to send only one contact. But if you want to attach more than one, it is still an issue.

    @waynerad Ah sycophancy! I've started prompting bots to dial theirs down to zero. Just did it to the @perplexity_ai bot in @WhatsApp. It got the message no problem haha. But, hwy, that ChatGPT lying thing. Wow. I don't know Black Mirror. No matter. Truth is stranger than fiction!

    🚨 WhatsApp Web flaw: Lock a chat named "Rahul" & set secret code as "rahul". Now search "Rahul" — 🔓 chat opens with no auth. I’m a developer — this looks like a logic flaw. Happy to share steps with @WhatsApp to help fix. #PrivacyBug #WhatsAppWeb #CyberSecurity

    @WhatsApp @WhatsApp Please allow group admins to disable or delete accidental voice chats. After the first use, there’s no confirmation anymore, and it often confuses older users. This can cause real disruption. An option would really help. Thank you!

  • jan_jan_ki_baat
    Kishan (@jan_jan_ki_baat) reported

    @WhatsApp you could review the circumstances surrounding this issue. I have always tried to comply with whats app terms of service and have not engaged in any activities that would violate your guidelines. Therefore, I suspect that ban might have been triggered inadvertently.

    @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!

    Sanaullah Gh (@ishaqsanaullah9) reported

    @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.
