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.

Great App, but new colour scheme… :(
FlyByeBye321
Absolutely great App which I use since version 1, therefore +10 years and with every iteration it just got better.But new colour scheme is a giant leap backward, it just feels un-natural after all these years using it. I understand the company decided a new look is needed, but please give us back traditional colour scheme back. I just managed to teach my parents and grandparents where to click and where to look and they are very confused since few days and seem totally lost, just because we all expect certain colours to be the way they were for soo many years. Nowadays it is not only young people using WhatsApp, but many elderly people not born with smartphone, but rather old people who use it daily to be in touch with their grandchildren, who live, study or work abroad, sometimes half a World away. Therefore being a way to connect and keep long distance nearby.So please be so kind and bring back an old colour scheme somewhere in the settings and a simple toggle switch so we can put it back if we feel we prefer it more.Thank you. Best regards to all the developers of otherwise most likely best and most used App ever.
Group video call notification is incredibly annoying
ana.j.m
Great app overall, but the biggest problem i have is the notification for an incoming group video call. And the vast majority of my calls are group video calls, so I have to deal with this sometimes multiple times per day. If i swipe the notification away once, why does it pop up again?? 4 more times??? It’s the absolute worst when i’m driving and trying to listen to the navigation, only for this stupid notification to constantly mute the directions. Please, for the love of all that is good, make group video call notifications the same as the notification for a voice call. I’m considering making my family switch to a different platform to not have this problem anymore.
Please make a change

Dear developers, could you please consider adding an option to hide your own face reflection image during a video call? It would be really nice to be able to not see your own face, because looking at it and wanting to look at it instead of someone you're talking to is distracting and annoying 😅 If you can not see yourself while your call partner still sees you, it helps concentrate much better during a conversation.Thank you so very much in advance
We update the app regularly to fix bugs, optimize performance and improve the experience. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
