    I don't use your app and I do not want to, so I cannot ask for help via your services. Your online contact form does not work in multiple browsers, so I cannot ask for help via your website. What do you suggest I do to make your user stop using my phone number, @WhatsApp?

  • FumbledFilm Steeeve 🎬 (@FumbledFilm) reported

    @SMARTYMobileUK service is terrible. Different advisor every other day, months of the same problem and nobody has any customer commitment. If it wasn't for @WhatsApp keeping my messages going I'd have been broke ages ago. #review #community #sundayvibes

    @WhatsApp should stop and control option for status posting. It's most irritated thing for me. I can't see all status. It's degrade my valuable time spending with @WhatsApp. "Online" Status off option not build trust for each other. It's create so many issues. Stop it
