Ok, so if I'm getting a new number on a new carrier, and plan on porting my current number to Google voice to forward to my new number, if I install WhatsApp on the new phone can I get the code sent to the old phone, and then port to Google once WhatsApp is moved to the new phone?

That's probably the best way to be sure. You're not really using a google voice number when activating.
I've had mixed experiences with whatsapp accepting GV, I've found that once a number is activated they don't make any issues.

Any solution for the awful lagging on Android takes forever to load chats or search.
I thought being in beta was the issue but after leaving it the problem hasn't been resolved

Not a fan of the newest update putting the categories on the bottom and not letting swipe from one to the other
Any way to revert it?

Interesting
Wonder if it has to do with the phone (s21) or does it roll out county by county
For example avatars were recently introduced and Meta ai isn't active yet for Israeli numbers

That's what generally happens when you don't get a choice ::) 
For me it's not just top vs bottom is the swipe/roll from tab to tab that's missing
Imagine the horror of needing to move my finger all the way across the screen and tapping? >:(

It doesn't let you swipe now, why remove features?

When it originally rolled out, they said they did it to comply with Google's updated design guidelines.
Then they re-enabled it for a bit because users wanted it back.
Then they disabled it again.

So I wouldn't expect it to come back.
From experience, you get used to not swiping very quickly too.

So google doesn't want the ability to swipe between categories?
