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.

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.

New interface is nice, sure it takes some getting used to, but it's waaaay better, don't know why some people are hating it but i loved it. People who didn't like it use their phones with their fingers up, so i think you guys shouldn't really undo the changes, but maybe an option so te user can costumize where the bar is at would be good, could even throw some "hide status bar" for people that don't care about that, it would be better if it was a space for groups, management would be easier.

I like the new update, the UI looks fresh and sleek, and the AI is fun. I also appreciate the option of being able to make stickers from photos directly in the app, but it seems there's only 2 options for the backgrounds. Those are auto crop or full background. I don't see any eraser tool, besides the one in the paint brush tool which doesn't seem to work for backgrounds or paint. If this were fixed and I could erase parts of the background from within the app it would be 5 stars

Cool updates. There's an ai system now but I feel like it's just chat gpt but worse. The calls and videos calls are fine. But the annoying thing is that if you don't have Internet connection and you're outside when you get connect to the Internet or WiFi all the messages come in later than it actually was sent. So example a group chat was texting a lot in the afternoon and at night you have your WiFi connection or something like that all the messages will come in at night.
