9 Mistakes In Whatsapp Web Version


We all are familiar with the web version of Whatsapp and its popularity. Whatsapp is continuously in the news since 1 or 2 years. Facebook is really trying hard to make this messenger app as friendly as possible. But in doing so they are creating some bugs too which should be solved immediately. With number of cool features it gained so much popularity among the smartphone users and now it’s new web version gaining the same popularity.


Whatsapp Web Version

Let’s have a look on the top mistakes in Whatsapp web version:

Profile picture and status cannot be changed.
This is something user might not like. People change their status and profile pic on the daily basis and they will not find this feature in web version of whatsapp. This tells that whatsapp need to work on this fault immediately.

Whatsapp web version is for existing users only.
You cannot register yourself through web version of Whatsapp. You need to have an existing account which can be created from smartphone or tablet.

You cannot create new group.
If you are already a member or admin of a group then only you can operate that in web version. You cannot create a new group through web version. For that you have to use your smartphone and then only you can create a new one. Also you can't leave a group even if you don’t like it.

No forward option.
You just can’t forward anything through web version of whatsapp. For sending any image/video, you have to go to your gallery. This will be frustrating for the users.

A big problem with the emoticons.
When we send any emoticon through smartphone it comes to the recently used option. But the thing is they are not synchronizing with the web version. Means if you use web version after that and you need same emoticon then you have to search it in your all emoticons. I think its bit hectic work.

Block contact option is not there in web version.
It’s good that facebook introduced this new web version but on the other hand this has so many bugs too. You just can’t block annoying/irritating people through whatsapp web version. You have to use smartphone for that.

Smartphone should have internet connection.
This web version synchronizes message from your smartphone. You’ll able to use whatsapp web version as long as your phone is connected to the internet. Once you lost data connection in your smartphone, you’ll loose connection from web version too.

You can’t identify whether text came from smartphone or desktop.
Unlike Facebook you can’t identify whether the user is using desktop or smartphone. Your text will be all same. Means same double tick, blue tick and single tick will come in your web version.

No iOS support.
At this time iPhone users are more active on whatsapp. But this web version will only allow android and blackberry users to use it. This is a big disappointment for iOS users.

Final conclusion:


These were some bugs on which Facebook really needs to work hard. Although we can understand that they are new to web version of Whatsapp but they need to solve these bugs immediately before users lose their interest.
