WhatsApp Messenger is used for sending instant messages. It is available on Android and iOS. It is also available to use directly from your browser with WhatsApp Web and on Wear OS, where you can receive notifications directly on your smartwatch.

Media sharing and privacy

Upon installation, WhatsApp automatically finds WhatsApp users from your contacts, so you can quickly add them under WhatsApp contacts. In addition to sending instant messages, users can also send images, videos, or voice messages. Group chat allows multiple users to chat at once, and another useful feature is that users can see if their messages have been read. Last seen information can be hidden from other users, so they would not know when the last time you were on WhatsApp.

Free international communication

It uses an internet connection for communication (Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan). That means all the communication is free, provided you don't have to pay extra for a mobile data plan. Even if the users with whom you are chatting are in another country, you do not have to pay any additional fees.

Meta AI integration

The platform now features a built-in Meta AI assistant accessible directly from the search bar and within individual chats. You can use it to generate images, draft message replies, or summarize long group conversations. While your standard messages and calls remain protected by end-to-end encryption, interacting with the AI means those specific prompts and usage metadata are processed by Meta.
