What is WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is an iPhone and Android messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS.
In addition to basic messaging WhatsApp users can create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages.
You can use WhatsApp on your web browser too. WhatsApp Web is simply an extension of your phone: the web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device -- this means all of your messages still live on your phone.
To connect your web browser to your WhatsApp client, simply open https://web.whatsapp.com in your browser. You will see a QR code --- scan the code inside of WhatsApp, and you’re ready to go. You have now paired WhatsApp on your phone with the WhatsApp web client.

Comments and Reviews
Good messenger, much better than Viber which popular in my country. No spam. However its security features are wirse that those of telegramm where you do not have to share you phone number. However Telegram is not working stable without rpoxy in Russia and then it is when WhatsApp comes along
Facebook bought this company basically to spy on people (teens) not wanting to use FB or to keep their marketshare. Use Telegram or Signal instead to keep competition, also Telegram is the app WhatsApp copies.

Authoritarian government in Türkiye blocks WhatsApp group join links. Provides government with access time, devices and logs.
Bloated, intrusive, fake end-to-end encryption, data theft, no privacy.
signal protocol with extra bloat and spying. use signal by the signal foundation which develops the signal protocol.
WhatsApp is my go-to for texting, and honestly, I wouldn’t mind paying a buck a year for it. There are plenty of other apps that offer free calls and cool stickers, but WhatsApp just gets it right with its simple layout. Sure, you can try using LINE, WeChat, or Viber, but WhatsApp is a must-have since you can't really make everyone use your favorite app. Not in India, anyway!
I think this app is rubbish. But I'm Brazilian and 99% of Brazilians like and use this shit. Whatsapp only beats SMS. And yet I still have my doubts about this.
