O WhatsApp it is the most used application in the world and consequently it is also the most popular in Brazil. Everyone nowadays has “zap” on their cell phone, whether to communicate with friends, for work or for the family group. However, as not everything is perfect, nothing can hide the application’s defects which, incredible as it may seem, have enough reasons for you not to use it in your day to day life.
5. Empower Your Privacy
Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp itself, is heavily criticized for collecting a large amount of information from its users.
It is not new that Meta, owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, faces criticism for privacy and security issues. One of the major concerns is regarding data collection and data sharing. Meta collects a considerable amount of personal information from users, such as profile data, browsing history, interests, location and interactions with other users. This data is used to target advertisements and create detailed user profiles.
4. You are required to have a phone number
Another negative point of WhatsApp is that you depend on a phone number to use the application. This means that for someone to get in touch with you, they need your phone number, which depending on the situation can be very inconvenient. This explains why many people prefer to have a number for everything, separating WhatsApp from your personal work. One way out is to do like Telegram, which allows you to create a username, which is much better and safer.
3. Synchronization with other devices sucks
It is common for you to get stuck on this screen whenever you want to enter WhatsApp Web or Desktop
There’s no way to talk about WhatsApp’s defects and forget about the terrible synchronization system for devices that use your account. WhatsApp even improved this system by adding a feature that allows you to use the same account on up to four devices and, more recently, when it released the possibility of logging into WhatsApp Web without having to read the QR Code with your cell phone. However, even when configured, synchronization is slow and at one time or another this scheme fails and you have to redo the whole process.
2. Limit of accounts per device
When it comes to using the same device for multiple accounts, WhatsApp again shows that it is far behind its competitors. Today the application does not allow you to have multiple accounts and add them all on a single device, as if separating a profile for work, another for family and another for friends and travel. Unlike some competitors, you can only have one account per device.
1. The competition is more complete
You may have noticed that in almost every topic here, we always compare WhatsApp to competitors to show where it falls short. WhatsApp is still a good app, with lots of cool and new features being added on a regular basis, but it is undeniable that it has always lagged behind more versatile and complete apps. Telegram, for example, has more conversation options, stickers, emojis and reactions, animated GIFs, facilitates the sending of documents, has thousands of channels and communities with large audiences and filled with good content.
