Bug Hunting 🔍 | WhatsApp Status Voice Reply Bug

In this video, I discovered a functional bug in WhatsApp related to Status privacy and reply behavior, which can silently block communication without notifying the user.

🐞 Bug Summary

When a contact is muted or hidden in Status privacy settings and you:
1️⃣ View their status
2️⃣ Reply using a voice note

❌ The voice message appears to send, but it is not delivered to the receiver.
There is no error message, failure alert, or system feedback, making the issue invisible to the sender.

⚠️ User Impact
This creates a critical UX and communication risk

Sender believes message was delivered
Receiver never gets the reply
No retry or recovery option
Causes confusion, missed responses, and broken communication flow
Trust issue in messaging reliability

🔍 QA Observation Points
From a software testing perspective, this indicates:

Missing edge-case handling
Poor error feedback mechanism
Weak status-reply flow validation
Privacy logic interfering with messaging flow
Lack of fail-safe UX design
