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.

For the past three months, WhatsApp has been experiencing serious issues. In just the last month, my account was blocked more than six times, even though I did not violate any rules.I am unable to:•reply to more than 10 people•send photos or videos•use the app normallyThe situation has become so bad that I have stopped using WhatsApp altogether. This is not an isolated issue — many users worldwide are facing the same problem, and I have read about it on multiple websites.I hope WhatsApp investigates this issue seriously and provides a proper solution as soon as possible.

I find this app very interesting app not just a good app but very convenient to use, very secured and protected. What i would want is maybe you could make it more advanced in a way no hackers will try and hack my account cause i have been blocking a lot of unknown callers which i prett much don’t know.. Also, i use iphone and i can’t access to change the ringer for whatsapp only .. If only it could show us whether a person we’re trying to call can READ our missed calls .. But then again, i like this app..
WhatsApp status is ruining photos in iPhone
Chelsea mo
I’m really frustrated with WhatsApp’s compression ruining the quality of my photos in status updates. Every time I upload a high-resolution image, it gets blurry and loses all its details. It’s annoying that there’s no option to keep the original quality, especially when other apps like Instagram or Telegram let you upload clear, high-quality images. WhatsApp really needs to fix this or at least give us an option to control the compression settings.
I am facing an issue with my account.
