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, love the status updates and the community, in general it’s an amazing platform and I can communicate and connect with my friends and family with this! Such a wonderful and interesting community, love the different features it has to offer and honestly not bad, just sometimes it doesn’t send well I don’t know how to tell, and I get added to a community or group and my number automatically gets leaked to everyone, because my friend can’t just leave her friends and us separate. But it’s great and I love how you can open someone once, NOT, because they have very interesting things that we be talking about at school. It’s just drama, sorry taking you off topic and myself and imma stop. Okay anyways, 100% recommend especially if you have a friend that has Samsung! Thanks for reading this BYEE!!
WhatsApp is nice but there’s a few features missing

Hi don’t get me wrong I love WhatsApp it’s so easy and convenient to use. But there’s are some things that could be better. One thing that come to mind for me is that you could add a share all chat history option onto group chats. For example the other day, I wanted to add a new member to my friendship group chat, sharing all the chat history so that the new member would always know what was going on. But when I tried to do that, I just added the member in. No chat history shared. I tried changing this in settings, asked meta ai for help, but nothing proved useful. I even removed the new member from the group chat multiple times, trying to find out how to share the chat history. I couldn’t and this is the one thing that really makes WhatsApp not good for me. Another bummer for me is meta ai. It’s not quite as accurate or easy to understand with its instructions as I would like it to be, but that’s not too big of an issue, so I understand if fixing this is not an option at the momentOtherwise I love it so much it’s an amazing app and doesn’t use much data to use, so you can use it anywhere, even if you have weak signal. Good job Meta group, and keep it up!!! ☺️☺️
Add photo info!

Hi WhatsApp,This app is really great, I use it everyday and is exactly what I need! It is a basic app for messaging, but with so many advanced features! However, I think a really good improvement for this app would be to have information on photos you send. So if you click on your photo either on a chat or status, you can find out who saved or took a screenshot of it. This would be very beneficial for many users, and enhance the app even more! One more thing that would be great to be able to do is delete photos, even if everyone has viewed it. Every person I’ve talked to wants this feature, and it would be helpful for personal, non business related chats. So once everyone has viewed it, you could still go back and delete it before more people save it. I would love to see these as an addition for WhatsApp, as it is such a great app! Thanks for your time!
Switching between phones!

Hi!Undoubtedly this app is something part of our daily life now and after all these years of technological advancement - it’s a shame that transferring from an old iPhone to new one could so painful !! Whatever the app suggests doesn’t match the reality at all and it’s a very very annoying feel given other popular app like such of WeChat was so quick and easy between the phones to transfer ! I did back up on iCloud and some messages / group chats are missing when transferred but then i had to fall back to old phone - reinstall and get on with usual business chats.I request the concern people to address this issue urgently & see how to make UX of this particular feature more reliable and practical . Thank you and best of luck !
We update the app regularly to fix bugs, optimize performance and improve the experience. Thanks for using WhatsApp!
