Recent few updates have literally downgraded my experience. What did you do the the video call feature.. that whenever we move to some other application, the self video gets off. Now you can't turn it on unless you close all the applications running in parallel. Very bad update. I always get complaints from other end that my phone camera is off and I struggle to turn it on, as the buttons won't pop up unless you close all the apps in background and reopen the whatsapp app. Never happened before

I Its functionality is good but requires more work, such as call quality. If the network is slightly unstable, the call quality becomes very poor in both video and audio. Therefore, call quality needs to be improved, especially in weak network conditions, to enable clear communication. Additionally, you should implement a chat head feature similar to Messenger for a more enhanced messaging experience.

There's a really annoying thing happening when you video chat. I use Pic in Pic. Always have. But instead of having a smaller PIP that you can adjust to make larger, it's starts out as the largest size. You have to double tap it to make it smaller and then in snaps to a corner. The when you want to move the PIP around, it enlarges again then you have to double tap just to move it out of your way so you can see who you're talking to. How about making a PIP that can anchor anywhere on the screen?
