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.

Just saw the way of choosing videos and pictures for the story changed. It's ok if you only post a few, but as someone who usually shares edits it's hella annoying that I can't even reorganize the order anymore without having to choose every single video all over again. Why can't I add more videos later on without having to redo everything from the start? Was keeping the story the way it was before really that hard? Not everything needs a retouch.

Unfortunately, after the latest info, I'm experiencing the same issues with sending videos and gifs via WhatsApp: they're either blurry or display a green screen instead. I've been very happy with this app so far but it got very buggy recently. There are also issues with picking up calls and recognizing audio outputs such as headphones. I hope you fix this soon.

Recently switched phones (Android to Android) and could transfer all the chats and media with Smart transfer. However there's a bunch of photos (100+pics) that keep getting downloaded in my gallery. Delete them once...nope, they're there the next day. Disable automatic media and files download and then delete...nope, tmrw they'll be there. It's honestly very inconvenient and it's not only me that experiences it. There's a whole thread on reddit about it... No WhatsApp support has been helpful..
