I had the last memories of chats with relatives that are no longer with me there. Things that I will never get back again. I have no words...

WhatsApp is great for what it does. It's easy to message, call and voice note. I've personally never had a problem with it. It's not meant to be like Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram. It's in its own little box. it's great when you're abroad and there's WiFi so you can contact friends or loved ones whether biological or not. It's simple and easy to use.

This has been confirmed by others, and it needs to be rectified as soon as possible as it's something that is relied on. A similar thing is happening. When I go to do file attachments via the gallery, it's only showing me selected folders and not allowing me to amend those choices or look for the particular folder I want access to ....
