Whatsapp can bother me everyday to advertise with it but can't add simple method to backup and restore chat. Why do I need to uninstall and reinstall to sync with old phone. Just add a damn restore button. And everytime you verify number, you just make wait time longer. What the hell are you trying to pull. You can implement security without being a PITA.

I’m really disappointed with the new update.The archive feature,which used to be at the top,is now at the bottom,making it harder to access.Also, when a msg comes from an archived chat, it pops out of archive,which is really confusing.I also feel status box is now too large and looks odd.These chnges make the app less user-friendly.I would appreciate it if the previous design could be restored or improved.It feels like the design is copying features from other apps,and it’s no longer as unique.

1) Pl introduce a feature for customised 'Read Receipts' wherein we can individually pick the contacts for whom we can keep the 'read receipt' on & off selectively. 2) Option to pin at least 6 to 10 chats is a need of the hour 3) 'Create ads' pop-up won't go away without clicking on the close button!!! It FORCES you!!! Can you at least ensure it disappears after a minute? Thanks
