This app used to be perfect..until they introduced the Meta AI button. Whilst some might find it useful, I feel that it has been forced on me as there is no way to remove, hide or disable the floating Meta AI button. I personally don't need it or want it, if I should require it then give me the option. It's very annoying. Please get rid of it otherwise I will start looking at alternatives. Remember, sooner or later a better app will come out and WhatsApp will disappear into history!

the perfect replacement for SMS! The only annoying thing is the lack of any kind of housekeeping function, I'd like an option to be able to clear down old chats to keep most recent chats, to do this manually would take ages, my backup size is large because of this but I don't want to clear whole entire chats as I like to have at least the last few months to refer back to.

Stop messing with this app. Changing things around every 5 minutes and every time you do it goes worse. Can't access my full SD Card now. Only recents, camera, screenshots and downloads are available. I want access to ALL my photos and folders not just the ones you recommend. Click on see more and it brings up the exact same folders so how is this "more"? Also keeps crashing and booting me out half way through typing. Started doing it last few days since someone started messing around again.
