There's a really annoying thing happening when you video chat. I use Pic in Pic. Always have. But instead of having a smaller PIP that you can adjust to make larger, it's starts out as the largest size. You have to double tap it to make it smaller and then in snaps to a corner. The when you want to move the PIP around, it enlarges again then you have to double tap just to move it out of your way so you can see who you're talking to. How about making a PIP that can anchor anywhere on the screen?

Overall I would normally give Whatsapp a 5 star rating. Never really have issues. It connects me to friends abroad and allows us to keep in contact. That's all great. However this last update is causing serious issues with the mute button next to the hang up button. I keep dropping my call. Clearly wasn't something thought about during the last update but can it be fixed please? Thank you.

I don't get my messages on time, sometimes I get a message after hours it has been sent to me. Another issue I have is that after I restored my messages I get "waiting for this message" in all my conversations. Also I'm no longer able to send messages to people using the phone number. And the new UI hides the Search feature when you scroll down, it was perfect the way it was before, I don't need a useless AI.
