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 32 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.

Frustrating! I took a picture with the WhatsApp camera and did not send it right away. I shortly left the app without closing it, and when I returned to it, my picture was gone and could not be restored. There was no warning message asking if I wanted to discard it; that only appears after you add some text to the picture. Not user-friendly at all!

Beautiful app for messaging and all, but the voice call and video call needs to b worked on massively. Now, about 2 months ago, I can no longer upload songs on my status, I can not even lace an image with a track and share. It keeps coming up with the same phrase. "Sharing failed, try again later." Why?! I've deleted cache, updated, and restarted my phone, everything, but it's still persists, and it's frustrating, ngl. Is it a device issue or what? it doesn't make sense. HOW DO YOU FIX IT?!

the sound of clicking and sending voice notes got activated automatically after an update and there is no way to turn it down. Me and thousands more are getting crazy on the Internet, there is no way to solve it!!!! I have had my phone on vibrate for many years, no joke, I haven't had the sound activated in years, and it still makes sounds. even if I put it in silence mode where everything is muted, it still makes these sounds!! conversation tones are off and the app still makes the sounds!!
