Hey I’m new to android so got a question
On WhatsApp I can make it so every photo I receive downloads to the phones storage no problem
However I want to be able to manually download certain photos people send me but not all of them. Is that possible? The closest i get is getting a blurred image which I can manually download however as its blurred I don’t know what the photo is until its downloaded to the storage .
WhatsApp downloads them no matter what, as you’ve discovered you can manually download them but that blurs out the image so you still have to click it to see what it is which then downloads it’s.
That’s how the apps programmed to work
Fair enough thanks 
Try turning off download? You should then be able to manually trigger any you want
That’s what he’s already done, doesn’t like it as it blurs the image out and you still have to click it to see what it is which then triggers the download
Ah right, gotcha
So OP wants a better preview with downloading? Doesn’t seem like a thing that’s supported, as you say above
Seen a few moan about pics etc not uploading and some messages not sending.
I honestly find WhatsApp and FB messenger frustrating to use, I only group them together as theyre both a Meta product.
I dont think ive ever had a flawless experience with one
Since moving to an S24 WhatsApp message notifications play as ringtone. Anyone know how to change this?
Tried both just states it’s a ringtone. When I get a message it rings annoyingly.
I’ve had a pain in the backside experience with WhatsApp today. I was persuaded by family to create an account after resisting for years, so downloaded the iOS app.
First issue - they couldn’t text me the 6-digit OTP because my phone number was apparently invalid. I expect that EE would dispute that!
Second issue - opted for a phone call telling me the OTP, which was so distorted that I couldn’t hear it properly. Tried to request another call but was locked out of doing this for 60 minutes.
Turned off WiFi and used the EE network to request another call, which worked and I managed to create an account. Sent a couple of test messages to family members then left it for a couple of hours.
Final issue - picked up phone again and ran the app, only to be met with “This account can no longer use WhatsApp”.
Sigh. I’ve submitted a request that they review this because I can’t think of anything that I’ve done to be banned so quickly.
Or is it just that WhatsApp is a pile of 
?
I’ve used WhatsApp since day dot and never had a problem.
How long have you had your number?
Getting on for two years now.
After a few hours I was unblocked, along with a standard reply that my account was blocked accidentally. As soon as I sent another message it blocked me again.
It’s been enabled again overnight with the same standard message about being accidentally blocked. Scared to send another message now in case it gets blocked again.
The Reddit WhatsApp is full of people saying the same thing, especially recently.
According to the WhatsApp subreddit there is no longer any human support, even via email. It’s all AI.
Fortunately I’ve managed to message a few people this morning without being blocked, so 
I’d guess the number had previously been up to no good which is causing the blocks ie reported by many users for spam or similar.
It may resolve itself over time.
