Is Whatsapp buggy/slow nowadays?

Recently formatted my phone. Reinstalled whatsapp n the imported the backup.
It seems very slow and buggy. After 1-3 mins of usage, the app starts acting up and after a minute or so autocloses.

Has anyone experienced the same?

I'm planning on reinstalling to check whether that fixes the issue. Asking here to see if anyone has experienced something similar and/or has resolved it.

I guess you need to do a reinstallation. I do not experience this issue.
I don't try to mess with their cloud backup scheme, I import the local backups manually instead. Their cloud backup is so slow and their chat transfer feature is so buggy.
- I used the local backup option.
  
  How did you use it? They no longer allow restoring from local backup AFAIK?
- They no longer allow local backup.
  
  They do, but they don't explicitly allow restoring from local backups directly within the app anymore. However, if you manually move the backups to a new phone or whatever and then fresh install WhatsApp on that phone, you will be prompted to restore messages from the local backup that's present.
You probably need a new phone, and to subscribe to something. - companies everywhere
