Features & Capabilities

WhatsApp Messenger by Meta is a free messaging and calling app used by over 2 billion people across 180+ countries. It's designed to be simple, reliable, and private, with end-to-end encryption that keeps your personal messages and calls between you and your intended recipients. No one, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.

Key features include cross-device connectivity (no usernames, just your phone number), high-quality calls across mobile, tablet, and desktop, and support for groups up to 32 participants. You can share messages, photos, videos, documents, and your live location; send voice notes; and use Status to share updates that disappear after 24 hours. All of this is available for free with no subscription.
