Description
WhatsApp Messenger is a FREE messaging app available for iPhone and other smartphones. WhatsApp uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you message and call friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, calls, photos, videos, and Voice Messages.
WHY USE WHATSAPP:
• NO FEES: WhatsApp uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you message and call friends and family, so you don't have to pay for every message or call.* There are no subscription fees to use WhatsApp.
• MULTIMEDIA: Send and receive photos, videos, and Voice Messages.
• FREE CALLS: Call your friends and family for free with WhatsApp Calling, even if they're in another country.* WhatsApp calls use your phone's Internet connection rather than your cellular plan's voice minutes. (Note: Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details. Also, you can't access 911 and other emergency service numbers through WhatsApp).
• GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group chats with your contacts so you can easily stay in touch with your friends or family.
• WHATSAPP WEB: You can also send and receive WhatsApp messages right from your computer's browser.
• NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: There's no extra charge to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends around the world and avoid international SMS charges.*
• SAY NO TO USERNAMES AND PINS: Why bother having to remember yet another username or PIN? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS, and integrates seamlessly with your phone's existing address book.
• ALWAYS LOGGED IN: With WhatsApp, you're always logged in so you don't miss messages. No more confusion about whether you're logged in or logged out.
• QUICKLY CONNECT WITH YOUR CONTACTS: Your address book is used to quickly and easily connect you with your contacts who have WhatsApp so there's no need to add hard-to-remember usernames.
• OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your recent messages until the next time you use the app.
• AND MUCH MORE: Share your location, exchange contacts, set custom wallpapers and notification sounds, email chat history, broadcast messages to multiple contacts at once, and more!
*Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details.

Customer Reviews
📍Improvement Suggestions📍
📍Notifications. At the moment, when you receive a message on Whatsapp and you open the app, the notifications are cleared from the notifications centre as well as the app icon when you close the app. This is particularly annoying when you're messaging one person and a second person messages you and you're too busy replying to the first person that when you leave the app after the conversation, you forget all about the second person. This can happen in various ways but the issue is that you are not notified of any unread messages once you close the app.
🌟 To Improve, app icon alerts (the number which displays messages unread etc) along with notifications centre alerts should not disappear once you open the app
📍 The second room for improvement is Whatsapp calling. It can be particularly annoying when you cannot dismiss a call or silence it while using another app. For example when you're playing an online game and an incoming voice call from Whatsapp rolls down from the notifications area, you can swipe up to clear it but the phone still vibrates annoyingly as the call continues to alert you in the background
🌟 To improve, allow us to dismiss or silence a call by swiping the notification drop down without opening the app
Great App
Would have give 5 stars. Saves a lot of money good way to keep in contact, please bring in the option to make phone calls within the app. Taking too long for phone calls to come in.😴
Please please bring in free phone calls. Would give 5 stars without a doubt .☎️📞 When are free phone calls coming in for the i phone ?? When??😴😴😴 Updated app today, can receive whatsapp calls but can't make them. Hopefully will be fixed soon. Also if the I phone isn't in use but switched on it the call doesn't come through. Now works,great thanks😀😀 Very happy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very quiet audio recordings even on full volume. Needs fixing thanks. Notifications of messages don't always come through. Please fix thanks.
Update needs password protection for privacy. Video calls would be great.
Now even better its free!!😀😀
Great now messages are encrypted. Video calls would now complete the service. Hope it doesn't take too long. Can't fault the app/service 👍🏻
Video calls please please
Voice mail doesn't work just rings out
Really good, however..
Whatsapp is really good for talking in drops of people and sending pictures and videos without the media message charge. Its good when working on a musical performance with someone as you can sent them videos and voice recordings of this. However, recently the app has had trouble connecting to my wifi, even though everything else connects fine, I deleted the app and re-installed it and I couldn't log in as it wouldn't connect to the wifi, I did what it said and it still didn't work, eventually I ended up using mobile data to log in. I hope they fix this connection problem in the next update, but otherwise whatsapp is great
