Description

WhatsApp is an instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service that allows users to send text, voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share various media. It was founded as an alternative to SMS and now supports a wide range of communication features, including end-to-end encryption for user privacy.
