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.

Great messenger app, but a lack of control has made it clunky. There is no option to customize appearance or color scheme, or contact customization. Chat backup has become a huge issue for me. There seems to be no option other than to save to GDrive or Ickoud only. This will force you to buy space at one of these, since local save or Onedrive is not available.

very annoying bug has been happening since January where after capturing photo it takes about 20 seconds for the photo to actually load. in that time the camera is still on, this is really annoying and has only been getting worse since the new updates.(7.1.23) edit: in the year since my first review about the bugs, I've had more. messages will randomly delete themselves, send infinite photos, and mark things as falsely read. I've contacted WhatsApp support, switched phones, nothing has changed.

Cannot change devices. Functionally broken. Only sends code to Whatsapp app and not as a text to the phone. Even when I am able to receive the code on the old device I am unable to enter it on the new device because the screen is then unresponsive despite showing the 6 digit placeholders. Clear caches, uninstalled, reinstalled, nothing works. Stuck on a dead phone and now app is dead. Like a virus, can't even clear storage or force close now, just keeps popping up broken code entry screen.
