WhatsApp Messenger

One place for everyday conversations

WhatsApp Messenger brings personal chats and group discussions into a single Android app. Send a quick update to one person, share a photo with family, or keep a group conversation moving when plans change. The interface is built around conversations rather than a public social feed.

Talk beyond text

Messages can include photos, videos, and other supported media, so a conversation does not have to stop at words. Voice and video calls offer another way to catch up when typing is not enough. Group chats can be useful for coordinating friends, family, or a small team.

Getting started

WhatsApp uses a phone number to create and use an account. After setup, you can choose contacts or groups and keep ongoing chats in one place. Review the app's privacy and notification settings so the experience fits how you want to communicate.

Before you download

Sending messages and making calls require an internet connection, and mobile data charges may apply. Some capabilities can vary by device, location, and app version.
