Whisper - Share, Express, Meet 17+

The app is fun, you can find like minded people in the groups no matter what you're into! You can send pictures, you can post anonymous opinions or you can start a conversation or play "truth or dare" with a stranger! Whatever! No matter how niche of an interest you have, chances are that someone out there agrees!

However, there are a few flaws. One being that you cannot make a post and post it to several groups who you have joined and who might be interested in what you have to say. Also, if you make a post, it is automatically posted to the "nearby" page. This is problematic because you may be trying to confess something embarrassing to a group you are in but then you end up telling everyone within a 15 mile radius who has the app too! Not good! Also, sometimes your posts will disappear from a group or you won't be able to see your own post on the nearby page or the page for your group but everyone else can see it. This is problematic because the app also will filter out certain posts based on language or because someone reported you but the app doesn't tell you that the post is gone. You just think that it's still there but you can't see it like some of your other posts that disappeared!

Good luck using this app if you use any iPhone that doesn’t have a physical home button. Just to exit a group you have to close the app and reopen it because the back button is stuck behind the clock. Every time I open the app, there is a 50/50 shot of my groups loading and sometimes I have to close and reopen the app multiple times to get the groups to load. Messages don’t always notify you, and chats them selves have bugs where the message you send might just move to a few messages above where it should be after you send them. I’d not recommend using this app at all. I would stop using it myself but I like talking to some people there, but if you are a new user, don’t even bother. Oh, did I mention the only useful updates in years are… there are none. Literally no bug fixes or improvements like the update notes claim while the developers added annoying full screen ads (a la Kik) on top of the banner that you can’t get rid off on the bottom of screen, even in chats where you DON’T WANT ADS! Seriously, if I wanted ads in my chats, Facebook would have added them to Messenger chats years ago. Oh, and it’s considered a dead platform since there really haven’t been feature updates in so long. Liters it’s just the community of users who support it still. If I could build a newer and better platform, I would. Literally anything could be better than this app at this point.

So I had been using the app for several years. I really enjoyed it but it started to get very buggy. So having experience in wireless I start to do basic troubleshooting like uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. But I noticed that all my information and such as still on the app once I downloaded it again. So naturally I thought it has some cache I couldn't clear. Then I put in a request to completely delete my account and selected get rid of all my information thinking this would clear all cache and fix the bugs I continued to have after installing it again. What I wasn't aware of if you request to delete your account you can never use the app again. I uninstalled again and again but every time I turn the app on it says failure to connect so I reach out to customer service. They told me since my account was deleted I can never return. I explained the situation and they said that once an account is gone it can't return. I said fine let me set up a new account and they said that isn't allowed. So now whisper will never work on my phone again and while they claim to have deleted my information they still somehow have my IMEI or something that makes it so they won't let me use the app. So they lied about clearing all my data. Which honestly is very sketchy. There is absolutely no reason they can't let me create a new account or recover my old one since they clearly still have my data.
