Our squad

WhatsApp was founded by Yan Kum and Brian Acton. Before that, both worked together at Yahoo for 20 years. WhatsApp joined Facebook in 2014, and today it operates as a separate app with the goal of developing a fast and reliable messaging service around the world.

WhatsApp Features

Simple, reliable messaging
Message your friends and family for free*. WhatsApp uses your phone's internet connection to send messages so you don't incur SMS charges

group to keep in touch
Stay in touch with the most important group of people, such as your family or co-workers. Through group chat you can share messages, photos and videos with up to 256 people simultaneously. You can name your group, turn off or customize notifications, and much more.

Talk freely
You can also talk to your friends and family in other countries for free* through voice calls. And when voice and text messages don't satisfy, you can communicate face-to-face via free* video calls. WhatsApp voice and video calls use your phone's internet connection instead of your cell plan's voice minutes, so you don't have to worry about expensive call rates.

Document sharing made easy
Send PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, slideshows and more without the hassle of email or file sharing apps. You can send documents up to 100 MB, so it's easy to get what and who you want.
