Can’t make a video and send it to a friend. Often can’t record audio and send.
Clear.
تطبيق رائع جدا يمكن لنا ان نتكلم مع اهلنا واصدقائنا
When I try to search in any conversation it says it can’t find it, until I go to the exact date of the message for all my conversations
Very convenient and informative!!!
I love WhatsApp. Easy to use. Especially to send pics or movies n
When I try to add my new phones phone number, I didn’t change numbers just phones, it will not let it go through. It won’t send me a code either!! Blah!! Something that should be easy is making things hard on me.
Are very spotty even when both people either have full wifi or 5 g just a few towns over shouldn’t have any problems
We spend so much time talking together while before we would’ve have to wait to see each other unlike you called on the old phones. Now Families can talk and see each other any time they want. Thank you for being great business and how hard you work to make sure we can do this
I’m grateful to have Facebook be so helpful and always make it feel so “personal” for its followers 🙏👌🏻🤷♀️🤓
Por este medio me contacté con amigos entrañables y se escuchó claro y fuerte. Gracias
