Whatsapp Complaints & Reviews

Hi,
I am unable to use whatsapp because whatsapp blocked my number permanently.
I have send many emails to [protected]@whatsapp.com
But i got formatted email always. They rejected to unban my number. I used my number for personal use only.

Please unban my number.

Dear Sir, With huge respect i want to say that. I am not able to connect my phone to whatsapp. Please help me. I will be always respectful to you. Thank you Himanshu Singh

Hello Sir/Mam,

I was using above mentioned no. last year when i was working in Mumbai, India. I have'nt used this no. since mid february (as i shifted to some other place). But now a days, i dont know how this no. is showing active again on Whatsapp with really bad profile picture (u can check i[censored] want) on it. I came to know about it yesterday from one of my relatives. All my relatives were very terrified and worried to see that profile picture which was showing active after long time (as they all have my old mobile no. in their contact list).

When i traced the no. it is showing location somewhere in Navi Mumbai/ Kalyan area in India.

So, i really beg you to take some immediate measures and block this no. forever. I hope you will understand my problem. Thank you so much in advance.

We would like to report that we have around 8000 students in our school. Someone has been circulating a message against the school with the prime motive to defame the school and the head of the institution. The content of the message is objectionable and does not carry any truth. So you are requested to block the message and track the origin of the message so that we can take legal action on the same. The matter has been duly reported to the cyber crime cell. We came to know on 16th july 2015 about this message. The content of the message is as follows D.A.V.

First, before I go on to the problems, let's see what good the app does. It allows one to call or send messages using internet connection. That was possible a decade ago using email accounts which is still available on any device on which WhatsApp runs. The difference? It doesn't need an email id and works with a phone number you have access to. Not bad. Pretty simple and straight forward, but is it handled properly by the app developers? NO. Here is why. It automatically uses your addressbook to add people you know, which in itself is no issue, but here is the big problem: it shows contacts using WhatsApp automatically, without any permission or anything like that. Only thing one needs to know if you are available on WhatsApp is your phone number. That can be bad in too many ways. 1. I have been using the same number for over 10 years, and a lot of people are sure to have my number on their contacts list even if it was a one-time affair a decade ago. They end up seeing me in their WhatsApp contacts, and I see them in turn, which is ridiculous unless I have a way to block it. No, I do not mean the 'Block' option... why do I have to block every single person I may have known once upon a time just to use a service I want to use to chat with friends??? Even the contacts I have hidden in my addressbook end up in my WhatsApp contacts, and disabling 'Show all contacts' in WhatsApp settings does nothing to get rid of them. Additionally, they end up in my addressbook as WhatsApp contacts even if I have them hidden in my original contacts. There is no way to hide WhatsApp contacts partially from cluttering your addressbook, and for some reason even if I disable WhatsApp contacts completely on addressbook, they still show up (could be a bug). A sample situation: all my classmates, teachers may have my contact number that I used in school, but I have contact with only a few currently, and have no intention of announcing to all of them that I have signed up for WhatsApp. Is that too much to ask for from a chat application??? I do not want to block anyone, I just do not want to advertise this either, simple. 2. It is a huge privacy leak if you consider the fact that WhatsApp defaults, unless (and then until) you change them, will show your details (profile pictures, status) to those unwanted contacts (an app for stalkers, in short). 3. What if you have a dual SIM phone with different numbers for personal and professional use? Forget that privacy if you want to use WhatsApp, they think 'differently'. What if you have only one SIM, but change devices often? You may get blocked. 4. There is no way to change WhatsApp contacts. I have this strange issue with couples with multiple contact numbers: one person is currently using the number for phone calls that the other had registered for WhatsApp initially. So if I change that in my addressbook according to call usage, WhatsApp will show the wrong contacts, and I have no way to edit this. 5. Similar situations can arise for young people without a phone number if they use their parents' (extra) phone number to register for WhatsApp. 6. Not directly related, but once I had changed my WhatsApp number to a new one, which is supposed to delete the old number, but I can still send messages to that number as it is there in my phonebook. This just shows how broken the app is. The fact that the WhatsApp developers took it for granted that one would invariably chat with all contacts in their contact book (plumber, electrician, etc) and that they need to clutter one's addressbook no matter whether one wants or not, is ridiculous. This is the reason I can't help thinking that the app must have been made by buffoons, sorry. And yes, for unsuspecting young girls, those utility guys can stalk you easily unless you are too careful about using this oversimplified app. Only if WhatsApp had an option to search your contacts and add people manually to WhatsApp, allowing you to choose who are in your contact and if they get to see that you are using WhatsApp until you add them personally. That is, I have 100 contacts in phonebook, I add 10 to WhatsApp, then either allow all of them to see me or manually add them to chat/call when I need to. The only problem to this step is, how do I know if the other person is using WhatsApp or not? Simple, I know if I know. That is, if that person shared that info with me. In short, no way for stalkers with your phone number to know you are there in WhatsApp, much the same way email accounts work, everyone has one, but you get it when it is shared with you. I know WhatsApp takes advantage of one's phone number to connect with others, but it still can have its own ways to filter people in the addressbook to add for chat. I know using a smartphone is not safe by any means, google itself will stalk you to death if you do. But even google shares with your acquaintances only as much info as you do. I have a dual SIM phone and I have taken a new SIM for WhatsApp and let only those know it whom I want to. So I have no issues with stalkers or privacy, mostly. But I get annoyed seeing the unwanted contacts in the app everyday, and also can easily see how a stalker can use the app to track when people go to vacation, where, when they fall in love, marry or break up, and what not. I am writing this up in an attempt to knock WhatsApp developers to their senses, and if not, warn some unsuspecting users of its strange ways by sharing this info wherever I can.

I bought a new sim card from vodafone. The number is[protected].
The same number was with another person. He discontinued from vodafone, and after a few months
vodafone gave this number to me.

There is an application Whasapp which can be used on some cell phones.
In Whatsapp, the registration is done through the mobile number
and the handset gets registered, not the sim card

Now,...
