WhatsApp they killed it with the last update. Until then I liked the simplicity appky.
I deleted it, Fb makes everything a social network. They can just have one appand not a bunch of the same ones.
I would like to know where I can find the archived messages, because whenever I wanted to delete something, 50% of it went to the archived ones.
Just click the button to create a new message and find a specific contact. However, to delete it, you probably need to send a new message so that the conversation appears again among the others on the main page.
If you go to the main page where you have all the conversations and you pull it down, they should be archived there. chaty? I hope I explained it at least a little?
Hello to everybody,
Could someone help me with the messed up app notifications? WhatsApp?
Previously, I received a notification on the locked screen with information about who it was from (without the text, which was intentionally hidden). Now I only get notifications in this form:
2 notifications and time.
It really pisses me off because I broke it myself thanks to a stupid setup Apple Watch.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to put this together please?
