## Reviews

### "I only use Whatsapp when I need to but would avoid if I can" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *September 25, 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to add friends/people, just need to add via phone number. You can also create subgroups into main groups.
> 
> **Cons**: Probably because you add via phone number, you can sometimes get spam calls on whatsapp. Also feels more intrusive and less professional when adding via phone number. Media files take up a lot of space on the phone, you need to download any images or videos in order to view them on whatsapp.
> 
> Overall, I don't enjoy using whatsapp much. Feels like the more I use it, the more spam calls and messages I get on the app. I also get random images and videos that others send via the whatsapp group downloaded into my phone which I need to delete after.

> **Vicente** | *February 12, 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like using WhatsApp because I like how simple and intuitive the interface is. I also like the disappearing messages for extra privacy
> 
> **Cons**: the thing i like least about WhatsApp is the overwhelming group chats and notification spams, and voice notes.
> 
> My overall experience with WhatsApp has been overwhelmingly positive. With its massive global user base. It is still the messaging app I reach for first.

> 
> **Pros**: WhatsApp is a perfect app for day to day life. It is great for texting, video calls, chatting in groups, sending videos and photos. Th quality of video calls and audio calls are top notch. I use it everyday to text or call my family and friends. I have never faced any Bugs and issues in my 12-13 years of usage. I love this app and it works fantastic thus never need to get help from customer support. It is free of cost and works wonderfully.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing that i dislike about WhatsApp as it is a great app for every day life. All my family, friends and relatives use WhatsApp and they all love it.
> 
> My overall experience with WhatsApp is beautiful. This app helps me to talk to people all around the world. I live far away from my family and i talk to them everyday through WhatsApp chats and videocalls. My college team also uses WhatsApp as a platform to communicate with each other and we all love it. I have been using this app from more than 13 years and it works wonderful. It is very easy and simple to use for older to younger people.

### "Great App for life, work or school" — 5.0/5

> **Ramona** | *January 23, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: WhatsApp is easy to use and reliable. It even works when you’re out of the country, my messages always get through. I especially like that when photos are sent, they maintain their high quality.
> 
> **Cons**: There really isn’t anything that I don’t like but if I had to pick something just for the sake of it, then it’s just another App I have to remember to check at the end of the day.
> 
> I’ve used this App for personal messages, work messages, group chats (when I decided to go back to university for awhile) and even international communication, overall it’s easy to use, convenient and easy to block contacts if needed. It adds a layer of privacy that I don’t get from sending regular text messages and there’s no additional cost for any international communication or sending photos.
