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.

If the sender had an option to lock the forwarding of the voice or messages we send on WhatsApp, many problems would have been avoided. Currently the only option is to limit a message to a single view . The ability to lock the forwarding of messages or voice notes on WhatsApp could indeed help prevent various issues related to privacy and misinformation. It would provide users with more control over their shared content and potentially reduce the spread of false information. This feature could also enhance the security and privacy of conversations, ultimately leading to a more secure and trustworthy messaging experience.
Dear developers
DNT_1
This is a great app however there has been a hack/virus on the platform where just from responding to the sender they get full access to your account. This happened to my mother yesterday, one of her friends had their account stolen and the hacker messaged my mom through her friends account, after a bit of talking the hacker asked my mom about what type of credit card she has. My mom instantly knew something was wrong. The hacker stopped responding and started doing the same thing but using my mother’s account and started spreading the hack/virus to her other contacts, I did 2fa and told all my friends, and my parents reported the issue to the police and the account was locked. She got access back to her account today and did 2fa, I’m not sure how many people got hacked, but plea fix this issue because my mother shared absolutely zero information which means theres a massive flaw with the app’s security. Please fix this asap.Thank you.
Delay message delivery or receiving with custom time schedule
Shivroop
I receive messages I don’t want to receive from but out of work obligations I do past office hours - can I put a internal clock in my WhatsApp account to hold messages of certain contacts until a certain time without letting them know, more like there is no wifi or data hence the message didn’t deliver . Pls consider as it gets difficult to be active after certain hours on the app or a switch off option with a time schedule for each contact .
Feature Request – Full HD Quality for WhatsApp Status
MSHAH...!
I would love to see an improvement in the quality of WhatsApp Status uploads. Currently, images and videos lose some clarity after being uploaded in the status/Story, which affects the overall viewing experience. It would be amazing if WhatsApp could support full HD (1080p or higher) uploads for both images and videos, ensuring that shared moments retain their original quality.
We update the app regularly to fix bugs, optimize performance and improve the experience. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
