Editors' Review
Mobile phones and the internet changed our lives in many aspects, but communication is clearly the most improved out of all. Which app sits at the top of the communication category? Yes, you guessed it right. It is the WhatsApp Messenger. WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app you can find on the internet with a huge userbase all around the world. This app has users in almost every country and territory. It works on different operating systems from iPhones to Androids and Windows and Macs. It lets you connect with people all around the world using the internet instead of your mobile plan.
WhatsApp is far more personalized than traditional texting. First, you get a more real-time IM experience, including status messages. By default your status is: "Hey there! I am using WhatsApp." There are 11 status options, such as Available, Busy, or At Work. Choose among 39 chat wallpapers to spruce up your chat page, or select a picture from Photos. You can see them in thumbnails and then preview in full-screen size before committing.
The main screen presents an uncluttered view where users can quickly access chat windows, start new conversations, or switch to voice calls with minimal taps. The design also includes customization options such as changing chat wallpapers and status messages, allowing a more personalized experience.
Call a contact by pressing the writing or calling buttons, or use the writing icon to send a message. The camera button enables you to capture or send photos and videos directly from the chat page. And there's no need to log in to or out of the app.
Press the up arrow, then Photo, and then tap to capture a picture or hold to record a video. With the latest WhatsApp update, you can share your location with 3D maps or share contacts with your other contacts. Press the camera button to take a picture or the microphone to record a greeting. You can also send and receive audio files -- not possible with Apple's Messages app.
Pretty much anyone can use WhatsApp. If you have friends or family in other countries, it’s especially useful because it lets you avoid expensive international calling and texting fees. It’s also great for groups, like family members, co-workers, or clubs, who want to stay connected.
Bottom Line
WhatsApp supports various types of messages, including texts, videos, voice messages, and even location sharing. This makes it more versatile than the standard messaging apps that come with iPhones.
