Do you find it annoying that WhatsApp doesn't allow you to set full size photo as your profile picture? It should be in perfect square shape or you have to crop it manually. Most of the photos, even the one which you take from your mobile camera are either in landscape or portrait mode. Cropping them will cut some of their part that you don't want to miss.
