Related problem: The "links" section of the profile is limited exclusively to [[Instagram|IG]] and [[Facebook|FB]]. So the user can only add 1 or 2 (or 3?) non-Meta links to their profile before exhausting the len-limit, ATP it's impossible to add more info.

Editor note: I was never suspended from WhatsApp (back when I used it), but even the remote possibility of suddenly losing access to ones entire messaging history at the whim of a Meta, Inc. employee is worrying. JodyBruchonFan (talk) 16:23, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
AI button
[edit source]Is "Meta AI" button an incident worth mentioning? The button cannot be hidden from the UI Rudxain (talk) 08:47, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- I believe it would be worthwhile if it can be tied to a consumer-rights issue, such as an unfavorable end-user agreement clause or proof of censorship like the DeepSeek AI engages in. — Sojourna (talk) 23:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Shorter profile "About"
[edit source]IDK when, but WA has decreased the max length of user-profile "bio" ("About" text), and there's an expiration date which auto-clears the About.[1] This is an extreme regression to the original purpose of the About, which was named "Status" before they copied Snapchat's Stories.
The "good" news is that it's not retroactive, so unchanged bios are left as-is.
Related problem: The "links" section of the profile is limited exclusively to IG and FB. So the user can only add 1 or 2 (or 3?) non-Meta links to their profile before exhausting the len-limit, ATP it's impossible to add more info.
