Pros / Cons
  • It worked for the most part, we just wanted to eliminate the part of having to export all of the data, then manually pull the numbers for those specific times, and create specific group messages out of those numbers on a daily basis.

  • Whatsapp is best massage service app in world with free, best, simple interface with safety features like 2 step verification ,video call facility is good, there are no bugs and issues, customer service is good quick response etc.
  • I think the flaws in the WhatsApp application are very simple, such as the fact that the application cannot be used without a phone number, and it also does not fully support multiple devices, so the same account cannot be used on more than one phone at the same time.
