Kinda flaky, kinda slow, kinda short on customization options that I thought were standard. Three options only, see below. obligatory light-grey-on-lighter-grey-with-copious-dead-space.
Good it's not Google; worse in every other respect.
Well done WhatsApp. Two completely different uses of "Mute" right next to each other. Not gonna confuse anyone.
