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

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.

When recording I sometimes accidentally hit the trash can button and lose my entire recording. I feel there should be a pop up box that asks, "are you sure you want to delete?" So you can recover the message by clicking no. Nothing more frustrating than recording for 15 minutes only to lose it so easily. That view once vanish button needs to be put in a different location as well. I sometimes hit send and accidentally hit the that button which is very bothersome for obvious reasons.

I've been using this app for nearly a decade, and though some new useful features have been introduced throughout the years, some other features have been limited or gotten worse altogether. I remember being able to record and share lengthy videos (of 6+ minutes at some point). Then that got reduced to about 2 minutes, and now, to only 1 min and 40 seconds. But if you reach the time limit, it gets super buggy and it won't let you send the video!!

Works well. In fact, I find myself trying to get others to contact me via Whatsapp instead of other means because it does everything I need. It's easy to use, has all the knobs and dials, settings and themes, plus it integrates nicely with my phone. I get solid connections and safe (as far as I know) communications with others. I'm very pleased.
