Description
A cross-platform messaging and calling application that lets users send text, voice messages, media, and make voice/video calls over the internet.
WhatsApp is a cross-platform instant messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service available on mobile devices and as desktop applications, including a native Windows client. It enables users to exchange text messages, voice messages, images, documents, and other media, and supports one-to-one and group conversations as well as voice and video calling over the internet. WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption for personal messages and calls by default, aiming to prevent third parties from reading message contents in transit. The service is identified by phone numbers for user accounts and commonly provides features such as group chats, media sharing, voice notes, contact syncing, and message status indicators.
On Windows, WhatsApp provides a desktop experience that supports messaging and calls, integrating typical desktop conveniences such as keyboard input, notifications, and background operation.
