I am unable to change wats app picture . Tried all options . Every time I click on profile pic , it opens for putting status on wats app. No edit option showing to change wats app profile pic.
La mayoría de veces que me mandan una foto para ver una vez mis amigos, después de abrirla la foto se cierra automáticamente sin que yo pueda observar el contenido de esta última. Aparte de eso, la app es confiable y fácil de usar para comunicarse con tus conocidos por lo que es un 10/10.
Fraud
I have always been an iPhone user, purchased iPhone due to trying IMessage on iPod. Loved iMessage so I bought and iPhone. Never used iMessage due to missing WhatsApp. Even now with so many great features on iMessage, it’s still no where as great as WhatsApp.
So many bugs makes me think I’m blocked or others think I block them.. have to keep deleting and reopening people think I’m crazy wth fix it!
Ok
Interesting how this very topic I found myself having a discussion about with a commuter just yesterday. Of course this article had all the right phrase to say about how I felt about AI.

I’m trying to put WhatsApp on this phone for a girl to stay communicated in emergency cases but it doesn’t let me because of age
Update the app, it just decided to log you out. Meta do you understand that you just made every user of WhatsApp to spend 10 minutes to fix that. Sure from your perspective it is just a few minutes, but globally we wasted billions of hours of humans just to re-login to the stupid app, that I hate, that I use only because some of my friends use it.
Perfect app to cheat & hide .
No me quiere coger los audio y lo videos se traban
Great Job!
