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.

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 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.

Easy to use and just an amazing app to stay connected and share pictures and videos with everyone! EDIT: down to 1 star after update. Choosing photos to upload is horrible now! It doesn't show all my photos. The drop down menu to select the album sucks too. If I choose to see more, it only shows me 5 "collections" It used to be much easier before. I don't know why or how or who approved this but it sucks BAD.

App works fine for the most part, but anytime one person is on their desktop, the other people on the experience and echo on calls. It seems that WhatsApp removed their echo cancelation feature for desktop, as this hasn't been an issue for other similar apps like zoom and teams. It works fine when everyone is on their phone though. The issue is really annoying please update the app for desktop.

Beautiful app for messaging and all, but the voice call and video call needs to b worked on massively. Now, about 2 months ago, I can no longer upload songs on my status, I can not even lace an image with a track and share. It keeps coming up with the same phrase. "Sharing failed, try again later." Why?! I've deleted cache, updated, and restarted my phone, everything, but it's still persists, and it's frustrating, ngl. Is it a device issue or what? it doesn't make sense. HOW DO YOU FIX IT?!

• Group chats now have a unified Calling icon, with new options to organize calls and select participants for audio or video calls.



Thanks for using WhatsApp!
