WhatsApp Messenger

WhatsApp is a free messaging and video calling app used by over 2 billion people in more than 180 countries. It provides a simple, reliable, and private way to stay in touch with friends and family. The app works across mobile and desktop devices, even on slow connections, and there are no subscription fees.

Your personal messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted, meaning no one outside of your chats, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them. All you need to sign up is your phone number, with no user names or logins required. You can quickly see which of your contacts are on WhatsApp and start messaging right away.

Make high-quality voice and video calls with up to 32 people for free. Calls work over your phone's internet service, even on slow connections. Group chats let you share messages, photos, videos, and documents across mobile and desktop, all protected by end-to-end encryption. You can also share your location in real time with only those in your individual or group chat, and stop sharing at any time.

Status lets you share text, photos, video, and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You can choose to share with all your contacts or just selected ones. Additionally, you can use WhatsApp on your Wear OS watch to continue conversations, reply to messages, and take calls from your wrist.
