Can anyone explain how WhatsApp works? I’m looking for a simple breakdown of its features and how it connects people for messaging and calls—any tips would be great!

WhatsApp uses your internet connection to send texts, voice notes, calls, photos, and videos. You sign in with your phone number, and messages are end-to-end encrypted so only you and the recipient can read them.

WhatsApp works using your phone number and internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data) instead of SMS. It syncs your contacts, lets you send texts, media, voice notes, and make voice/video calls all secured with end-to-end encryption. It also supports groups, status updates, and web/desktop access.

WhatsApp is free to download from the App Store or Play Store. It uses your phone's internet connection and allows you to send unlimited messages, pictures and videos, so you don't need to worry about using up your allocated text or call allowances.

WhatsApp is a messaging app that uses the internet to send text messages, voice notes, photos, and videos. It allows voice and video calls, group chats, and file sharing. It works by linking your phone number to your account and syncing contacts to start conversations with others.
