Can you add the option when you are in WhatsApp and you recieve a message you dont wish to open at the moment, and when you close the app and go to the home screen to get the notification when you havent read something that it is pointed on the app icon (1,2,3 depending on the not opened messages).

Battery drain on macOS; bad support team

I am having high CPU usage on my MPB2019 when WhatsApp is running, even when the window is closed A few minutes after starting it, I can hear the fans, and the battery drains quickly. As soon as I quit WhatsApp, the laptop gets silent. The support isn’t any helpful I mention macOS app, they repay about web browser. They ask me for video, the link gets blocked. They ask for screenshot, attached images are also blocked. All replays to their mails get blocked too. We’ve gone through endless support requests over their web page only to waste my time. Here’s my well earned 1 star reward.

Very happy to use it and an idea to add

Radost :)
I’m very happy to use it. It’s very useful with a very friendly interface. A lot of emotions as options. I love the Memoji and create your own avatar it’s super fun :))))What I wish to suggest is Can you add edit message once it has been sent and delete for all as option. Sometimes we write mistake and we cannot delete.

I hope that WhatsApp developers soon will allow their users to edit messages, because it’s ridiculous that almost in every messenger you can do that, but in WhatsApp no...You guys need to change that...2nd thing... not happy at all that now blue sign next to read message disappear after last update! Please bring this back, because I can not see if person read my message or now or it’s just has been delivered! It’s was very useful tool for work, because now I have no idea of person on the other side read my messages or he/she just ignoring me...
