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.

*Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details.

I wish I could turn off the 'updates' and 'communities' tabs as well as the aweful AI. I'll never use that garbage, so please just let me turn it off. 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, meh app.

it could be better. For instance, i would like to be able to read all of the mesej that was sent to me. Currently, it works just fine until the person sends me a sticker and makes the message above or below it gets cut off to be able to show me the sticker that the other person sent to me. On the other hand, i want to talk about the quick video feature, i understand that it was supposed to be a "quick video capture" but sometimes the way you can't choose to set where the camera will be facing...

My experience with WhatsApp has been pleasant until very recently. Since the last update, when I share any link in a message, I can no longer add any caption or comment about the link before sharing (unlike before). From now on, I have to edit to insert commentary after sharing to say something about the link. Please fix this issue ASAP. Thanks.
