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.

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
It is one of the most popular, but the worst app possible. There are a lot of annoying things here, but the most annoying is that you can't use it on multiple devices simultaneously. If you try to switch to a new phone, and get a code in the old phone app, it will log you out without transferring chats! In order to transfer chats, I had to get code by SMS (which is limited), or by call, then transfer chats, then you're okay. I mean what kind of app doesn't load all the chats automatically???????

it's been about two months now. I don't know why but every time I make a video call the video is extremely narrow (as in squished together) making my video look thin. I've tried everything. reinstalled. updated my software. nothing. it's getting really annoying that nothing has been done to fix this issue. I'm using a OnePlus 10t.

This used to be an amazing app. But with every update it got worse. Switching status to updates is very annoying. The channels are just confusing. It doesn't let you post HD statuses anymore. It just compress your status so the photos or videos look like it was taken on a $5 camera. The new design is just horrible. They moved everything to the bottom. And they put communities right in between status and calls. Which is really annoying. And really in the way 😡
