Download WhatsApp: PC / Mac / Android (APK)

WhatsApp is the application you can't miss out on when looking for an instant-messaging service, as it's one of the most used apps in this category worldwide.

What is WhatsApp?

WhatsApp (also called WhatsApp Messenger) is a centralized instant messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by Meta Platforms. WhatsApp is one of the most used messaging apps worldwide as it provides all the modern features this kind of app offers, including text and voice messages, calls, file sharing, and more.

What are the key features of WhatsApp?

• Messaging: You can send and receive instant text messages from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection, thus avoiding usual SMS fees. Sometimes you will need to say things out loud as it feels more natural, and your voice says it all. Just tap record, and you can record and send voice messages.
• Groups: Whether you want to share with your family, your friends, your coworkers, or organize an event, WhatsApp allows you to create groups of up to 256 people at once, name the group, and customize it the way you like. Of course, group admins will be able to manage the group.

• Create rooms: Create virtual meetings of up to 50 participants thanks to the integrated Messenger Rooms tool. The app will guide you to Messenger, and with just one link, you can invite anyone whether or not they are WhatsApp users.
• Calls: You can start a voice or video call with anyone else using WhatsApp, no matter where they are. As long as you have an internet connection, you can stay online and share unique live moments with those who matter to you or join your coworkers in meetings.
• Security: WhatsApp integrates end-to-end encryption regarding messages and calls so that not even WhatsApp can see the content of your conversations (except if the message is reported). Still, remember that your conversations and group metadata are visible to WhatsApp (group name, group image, IP addresses, timestamps, etc.).

• Share: WhatsApp allows you to share everything you want with people, using the built-in camera or sending attachments. You can send and receive instant photos, videos, and files.
• Synchronized: WhatsApp is cross-platform and allows you to connect on various devices and stay synchronized no matter which one you use. So you will never lose a single piece of data.

WhatsApp is a safe environment, but remember to always pay attention to who you are talking to on the internet.

Moreover, all your messages' metadata are not end-to-end encrypted and are collected.
