    Dear @WhatsApp your app on iPhone has an issue - if u type fast, many a times those weird emojis are sent, after just a tap on those emojis by mistake. At least add another step so that one can avoid it-get embarrassing when those emojis show up on window while u r typing msgs!

    Is it just me or is WhatsApp really glitchy rn? Since it was down the other day there are so many bugs. When I try to send a video my screen goes grey and then the sound of it continues to play even after I’ve come off the app @WhatsApp

  • LizSly Liz Sly (@LizSly) reported

    This is an example of how @Twitter, often the bane of my life & others, can be a force for good. (And without @WhatsApp we would never have maneuvered the Afghans onto the planes. A big sigh of relief that the outage didn't coincide with our planes!)

  • Scotsman1821 James Gunn (@Scotsman1821) reported

    @WhatsApp This funny because ot is telling me to wait 38 hours to get my code and has been like this for 4 days so stop lying and fix your service

  • AbstractM1nd abstract_m1nd (@AbstractM1nd) reported

    Is it me or @WhatsApp hasn't been the same since the outage? Or is it my phone? What is it 🤕😭

  • jiad8888 José Ignacio Arriagada (@jiad8888) reported

    @WhatsApp Hey, guys. The desktop app for Windows is not working. Just won't open. This on Windows 11.

  • JorisCizzle Joris Cizzle (@JorisCizzle) reported

    @FitbitSupport The issue appears to be that @WhatsApp uses banners to display the call (at least on my Key 2 with android 8.1.0, with the latest version of the app), as it has been reported on your forum. Texts and missed calls notifications go through fine. It is frustrating.

  • obaidur_NAbil Obaidur Rahman Nabil (@obaidur_NAbil) reported

    @WhatsApp, found a problem on picture resolution when they are rotated, and sometimes pictures get rotated automatically.
