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.

For a private messaging app it's getting worse and worse, especially with the sudden appearance of the invasive AI tool overnight, which I am unable to switch off to my greatest disappointment. I don't need it and never will I make use of it, so it would be great to be able to have the option to turn it off. Plus, it doesn't make the layout of the homepage look better :/ Just no

The app is great and it has been super amazing of all times. However, the recent update on key board tabs bar or button is really irritating. It no longer allows you to skip to the next line when typing rather it has become a shortcut button for sending. Sometimes you end up sending the message you didn't intend to when you tap on it accidentally. How I wish you restore our tabs key in the chat box when typing. I will be grateful. šŸ™

This is an all round great app. Would be 5 stars but I have a major issue that started a while ago. About 2 days ago, after sending 2 videos successfully, no videos would send anymore. I cleared the cache, I deleted all the media in every "sent" folder in WhatsApp's media folder. And yet still, no videos want to send. it loads and keeps on loading, not even making progress, on my notifications bar it says for example "Sending 3 videos". But they don't. Truly disappointing WhatsApp.
