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.

It is one of the most popular, but the worst app possible. There are a lot of annoying things here, but the most annoying is that you can't use it on multiple devices simultaneously. If you try to switch to a new phone, and get a code in the old phone app, it will log you out without transferring chats! In order to transfer chats, I had to get code by SMS (which is limited), or by call, then transfer chats, then you're okay. I mean what kind of app doesn't load all the chats automatically???????

This has been a great app, best messaging app by distance. But it can be greatly improved upon. I still wonder why the developers have left it this boring I have used GB whatsapp in the past, it's a hundred times better. I don't need all the features in GB integrated here, but at least, some useful ones should be. Like the following; 1. Option to change the default display menu colours, and outlook style. 2. The option to separate individual chats from group chats.

The sticker interface is buggy. Every time I scroll to get to the sticker I want it glitches me back to the top and I have to wait a few seconds to be able to peruse the Favorites category freely. That and if I want to spam stickers, it's hard to do so cause every time I tap on a sticker, no matter what category, it sends me back to the top, which is annoying. Sometimes when I'm in the interface, the message interface bugs out and all I see is the background, not the latest messages.

What's new

• You can instantly record and send video messages in chats. Long press the camera next to the text field in chat to get started.
• Added new text formatting options: quotes (> text), bullets (* text or - text), numbered lists (1. text), and inline code (`text`).


These features will roll out over the coming weeks. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
