    @WhatsApp. I don't understand what WhatsApp is doing it seems to me they don't know their terms of service, I do study it but one thing I don't understand is why are they banning my number? Sometimes my account will disappear, when recreating it will open and disappear again.

    Dear @AppleSupport and @WhatsApp, please resolve issues amongst yourselves, why are you making user’s experience miserable 😡😡

  • SnippetPhysTher TherapyGirl5 (@SnippetPhysTher) reported

    @WhatsApp I am in need of assistance. I use What's App for communication with a couple people in Haiti (providing community service). I have been banned. I know I have not done anything wrong because I only use the app to communicate to 2 people. Can someone help me?

  • king_speaks ♔ The King ♔ (@king_speaks) reported

    @WhatsApp the fix for @apple users isn’t out yet, remembering say an update would role out two days ago! This is frustrating to say the least. I remember reading a senior member of your team tweet saying things would be ok asap! Sad that this is the plight of us users! #WhatsApp

    🇬🇧It is astonishing that @citizenlab has accepted to hand over the coordination of an investigation on such a sensitive issue to someone, who supposedly being a @telegram worker, had access and had used reserved information from @Whatsapp (direct competitor), 8/14

  • Narkiebae Shai girl (@Narkiebae) reported

    @Andrew_AM1 @WhatsApp I’m only guessing. Cause if not, why else would it be banned? Unless they say it’s a technical error.

    @WhatsApp is the most preferred chat messenger but I have issues on these points 1) Broadcast list not supported in web version 2) Not able to forward messages to contacts in broadcast list 3) Admin of #whatsappgroup seems to be the weakest, no power to restrict certain people.
