About this app

WhatsApp from Meta is a FREE messaging and video calling app. It’s used by over 2B people in more than 180 countries. It’s simple, reliable, and private, so you can easily keep in touch with your friends and family. WhatsApp works across mobile and desktop even on slow connections, with no subscription fees*.

Private messaging across the world

Your personal messages and calls to friends and family are end-to-end encrypted. No one outside of your chats, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.

Simple and secure connections, right away

All you need is your phone number, no user names or logins. You can quickly view your contacts who are on WhatsApp and start messaging.

High quality voice and video calls

Make secure video and voice calls with up to 8 people for free*. Your calls work across mobile devices using your phone’s Internet service, even on slow connections.

Group chats to keep you in contact

Stay in touch with your friends and family. End-to-end encrypted group chats let you share messages, photos, videos and documents across mobile and desktop.

Stay connected in real time

Share your location with only those in your individual or group chat, and stop sharing at any time. Or record a voice message to connect quickly.

Share daily moments through Status

Status allows you to share text, photos, video and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You can choose to share status posts with all your contacts or just selected ones.

Use WhatsApp on your Wear OS watch to continue conversations, reply to messages, and take calls - all from your wrist. And, leverage tiles and complications to easily access your chats and send voice messages.

Works well enough. Easy to use and doesn't get in the way. I just wish I could turn off the 'updates' and 'communities' tabs. They are absolutely useless and I will intentionally never use them. I also wish that the chat backups were placed in a hidden folder. Currently my file manager app is cluttered with 'new' backups at the top of my list every day that have no business being there. Other than that, good app.

I use this app every day. I like it, besides the fact that I can't enter my locked chats anymore! I keep refreshing, turning my phone off and on, and I can't get into my locked chats. This way I can't text with some friends of mine, until I get a notification. And most of the notifications are off! So please fix this (if I'm not the only one having this problem)

Whatsapp is hands down one of the best messaging apps out there. But for some reason, If switch off my mobile data or wifi, and then turn it back on later, I won't see the number of people who viewed my status during that period. Newer views would still show, as long as I was connected, but if for some reason I turned it off and reconnected, I wouldn't be able to see who viewed during that period. Please fix this.
