WhatsApp Messenger iPhone

The chat and instant messaging app par excellence

At this point, the most popular instant messaging and chat application in the world doesn't need any sort of presentation. We're talking about the app that retired SMS and made us call much less... WhatsApp Messenger, with over a billion users all over the world, has become one of the most essential apps on any smartphone.

Send text and voice messages, chat, share images and files, call...

Although it started off as a tool to write text messages, it has now become an application capable of covering many other aspects of Internet communications and has never stopped evolving. Making the most of mobile data and wireless networks (3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi...), you can send messages and documents, as well as making calls. And all the latter by only knowing the phone number of the other user.

It's hard to find someone without this app on their phone.

And what about our safety and privacy?

This application has been such a hit that Facebook ended up purchasing it for over 21 billion dollars. Since then we've been flooded we've all sorts of rumors about the possible use of our personal data or the price of the service that is currently free of charge. For the time being, our personal details don't seem to be in danger either.

There's plenty of literature about the platform's security. Despite not offering guarantees for quite some time (and that was precisely one of Telegram's advantages over WhatsApp), it now implements end-to-end encryption which has made this application much safer.
