WhatsApp Messenger for iPhone

WhatsApp is one of the most popular social networking apps available for download. With more than a billion users, it offers instant messaging services. It allows you to connect with other users via texts and calls without paying phone rates. More, it lets you send multimedia files. This app uses your device’s internet connection and works on WiFi, 3G, and 4G networks. 

Powerful Messaging

The core of WhatsApp is sending person-to-person messages, like your device’s SMS function. Your messages appear in threaded conversations so you can see your contact’s replies to your messages. The navigation bar comes across the bottom to let you access the app’s features. 

In addition to peer-to-peer messaging, the app also allows group messages. Users can start a large or small group chat with their contacts to keep the conversation going. This works perfectly if you are working on a project or just want to keep in touch with your family. 

Alternatively, you can use the broadcast message function. This feature works like a blind carbon-copy where in your messages will be sent directly to your intended contact. Broadcast messages appear threaded in your recipient’s existing conversation instead of a separate thread like the group messages do. 

Furthermore, the app lets you send multimedia files such as images, audio and video clips, and even emojis. You can now also attach files, locations, and contact cards to your messages. Users, however, must keep in mind that these added files have a limit of up to 100 MB.  The recent app update also lets users send stickers and GIFs. 

Beyond Messaging

Whatsapp may be primarily intended for messaging, but the app goes beyond it. Most notable is its ability to let support voice calls from within the app. More, it does not charge you as you call. As long as you have a good connection, you can call anyone you like, providing that they have the app installed on their phone. WhatsApp also allows you to call in groups of up to four people and lets you send messages while on call, much like the Skype app. 

Just last year, WhatsApp has announced that the app supports video chat, a feature embraced by many modern messengers like Skype, Google Hangout, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, and Apple’s FaceTime. 

WhatsApp also has a status function where you can post updates and snapshots. This feature lets you record a video or snap a photo that you can tweak with emojis and captions. These statuses will be shown on your profile and will exist for 24 hours. You can choose to take a picture or video on the spot or get one from your camera roll. 

WhatsApp also hits another milestone as it now supports in-line Instagram and Facebook videos. Much like with its Youtube support, videos shared on WhatsApp can be played right within the conversation. Simply tap the link and you can watch the videos without leaving the app. 

Impressive Instant Messaging

WhatsApp is a terrific app to have if you want a fast and easy way to connect with your friends and family. The app only needs your phone number in order to get started. More, it can stay logged in, so you never miss any message. And if you worry about your personal details being shared online, WhatsApp built end-to-end encryption to secure all your calls and messages. Now you can chat, call, and share without restriction.
