WhatsApp from Meta is a free messaging and calling app used by over 2 billion people across 180+ countries. It's super simple, reliable and private, making it perfect for staying in touch with your friends and family worldwide. WhatsApp works across mobile, tablet, and desktop even on slow connections, with no subscription fees*.
Private messaging and calls across the world
Your privacy is our priority. With end-to-end encryption, you can be sure that your personal messages and calls stay between you and who you send them to. And no one, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.
Simple and secure connections, right away
All you need is your phone number - no usernames or logins needed. Easily view your contacts on WhatsApp and start messaging. And what's more, you can easily link your other devices, including iPads, for seamless connectivity.
High quality voice and video calls
Enjoy free, secure video and voice calls with up to 32 people for free. Your calls work across devices, even on slower connections, using your phone or tablet’s Internet service.
Group chats to keep you in contact
Stay close to friends and family through end-to-end encrypted group chats and calls. Share messages, photos, videos and documents across mobile, tablet, and desktop. You can also use call links and screen-sharing to make group calls and collaboration easy.
Stay connected in real time
You can share your location with those in your individual or group chats while using WhatsApp on your mobile phone. Or record a voice message for those moments when just text isn't good enough.
Share daily moments through Status
Share your everyday life with those who matter. With Status you can share text, photos, video, and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You're always in control of who sees your status. Just choose who you want to share it with - all your contacts or selected ones. And bring your everyday to life.

It is helping me to communicate with my family and friends since I used. This WhatsApp is a very helpful easy App. It would be very interesting if we can see our messages without keeping any back up like in messenger. I have lost all my datas while uninstalling WhatsApp where messenger has all the datas saved as it was before after uninstalling.Many thanks.
SWITCH TO SIGNAL!!!

I was just scrolling through Instagram when I saw a post that showed how much data (except chats) WhatsApp collects. EVEN MORE ON INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK! Like they READ all your chats and get keywords to target ads to you! Back on WhatsApp, it ships off all of your data (payment method info, your status info (where you are what you are doing what sound you used for your status at what time of day you posted it and your facial expression and other products you mention, etc.), your purchases, your contact info (email address(es) and phone number(s), etc.), other contacts in your phone book, etc.) except your chats which are “end-to-end encrypted”. Also, chat encryption I’m doubting too! What if they say they are encrypting chats but what if they are sending those off to Facebook too?
Poor support service

It has been 48 hours + and my colleague has not been able to re-login to his WhatsApp account.I have already shared the screenshot of his account in support chat.Re-installing and re-login didn’t work. The legitmate account holder is locked out of his account.The hacker is still using the hacked account and requesting for money from everyone in the contact list. Hacker has received NPR 90,000/- till now.From the incidence, it is evident that WhatsApp needs to work on solutions on these aspects:1. Temporarily block user accounts/ force log out from accounts2. The system of WhatsApp is messed up by the hacker: WhatsApp can’t even find the account in their system after it is hacked.3. Make sensible suggestions in a timely manner.4. Not leave their users in the middle of their support sessions.5. Have a provision for voice call or video call.The only thing I am requesting WhatsApp is to stop the hacker from messaging more people for money.
Suggestion for improvement
Horrntyk
1. Pls remove synchronized to cell call history. 2. Pls make a sign-out option 3. Pls make it offline showing while using internet. I mean no last seen option but make it like someone is not using it, deprivation of using the single app by internet
We update the app regularly to fix bugs, optimize performance and improve the experience. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
