About this app

WhatsApp from Meta is a FREE messaging and video calling app. It’s used by over 2B people in more than 180 countries. It’s simple, reliable, and private, so you can easily keep in touch with your friends and family. WhatsApp works across mobile and desktop even on slow connections, with no subscription fees*.

Private messaging across the world

Your personal messages and calls to friends and family are end-to-end encrypted. No one outside of your chats, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.

Simple and secure connections, right away

All you need is your phone number, no user names or logins. You can quickly view your contacts who are on WhatsApp and start messaging.

High quality voice and video calls

Make secure video and voice calls with up to 8 people for free*. Your calls work across mobile devices using your phone’s Internet service, even on slow connections.

Group chats to keep you in contact

Stay in touch with your friends and family. End-to-end encrypted group chats let you share messages, photos, videos and documents across mobile and desktop.

Stay connected in real time

Share your location with only those in your individual or group chat, and stop sharing at any time. Or record a voice message to connect quickly.

Share daily moments through Status

Status allows you to share text, photos, video and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You can choose to share status posts with all your contacts or just selected ones.

Use WhatsApp on your Wear OS watch to continue conversations, reply to messages, and take calls - all from your wrist. And, leverage tiles and complications to easily access your chats and send voice messages.

It seems one problem gets fixed (the voice message listen too problem) and another pops up. When I try to take a picture within whatsapp and zoom in, it switches automatically to video. Why would I want this. I want a picture. Zoomed in. That's all I'm asking for. Pls check and fix it. When I wanna record a video, I select video. Also previews on links doesn't work since the last update.

I'm not a fan of the Updates and Communities features, so seeing content on these tabs can be a bit distracting. It would be great to have an option to disable or remove these tabs entirely. Additionally, when tapping on a reaction to use the same one, a pop-up with previous reactions appears instead, which feels a bit unintuitive. A smoother interaction here would improve the experience.

Since the last update I can't correct written words anymore. It always selects the whole word but doesn't show any option (like copy, select all,...). Because of this I'm not able to go in between words to correct single mistyped letters or insert a word to a sentence without replacing/re-writing the previous word in the message. Now I have to write my messages in a text editor to then copy them to WA and thats really not nice.
