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.

Hello I really love this app keeps getting better & better. I really love The privacy option regarding who can view my profile picture or status buti wish you add a "who can text/call me" as well. Just similar to who can view my status option where i can select some contacts to view it. I have to save many numbers on my phone but most of them are my business contacts & I don't want all of them to be able to contact me via WhatsApp since l'm keeping it for personal use. Please consider this option! Thank you.
Have been having problems with this app for the past few days.

Whatsapp used to work just fine. None of my chats were lost and I had no problems using it. But it has been THE worst for the past 2 days. At first the permissions that I had given for camera,status,microphone and photos somehow got removed. It kept asking me to give permission but when I go to settings to give permission again it doesn’t show the buttons. I tried looking for the button for other apps and they were all there. And then after a few hours, I lost ALL of my chats. ALL OF THEM. I had a lot of important photos and contacts and I lost all of it. So I decided to try and restore it but that was of no use!! The backup wasn’t working either!! So I had to go back and ask for people’s contacts and photos all over again. Please FIX THIS. I hope no one else comes across this problem. Thank you.
Thank you a million to WhatsApp

Words can’t just describe, how much whatsapp is helping us to keep the family and friends together, sharing our thoughts and feelings instantly with our beloved ones. Particularly, those who stay away from own country (like me), missing their family members, it’s makes to feel, as we are at our own home town. Not only texts messages , quality of voice and videos are also excellent.Thank you whatsapp team💐

After the recent update, when channels are added, the Stories (Status) section becomes less visible and not as organized as before. It would be better if the Stories could return to the previous layout for easier viewing. You could add a separate tab or section at the top to switch between Stories and Channels instead. This would improve the user experience and keep the interface cleaner.
We update the app regularly to fix bugs, optimize performance and improve the experience. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
