Send messages securely

WhatsApp Messenger offers powerful end-to-end encryption, allowing you to send encrypted messages. Only you and the recipient will have access to the information contained in each chat. There is also a useful feature to protect certain conversations using biometric authentication, i.e., a fingerprint. Likewise, the tool allows you to attach single-view photos or videos to protect certain audiovisual content that you share from being forwarded.

Use temporary messages and protect your privacy

To increase your privacy, WhatsApp Messenger allows you to configure certain aspects that other users will see when they try to chat with you. For example, the tool enables hiding your last connection time or profile picture. At the same time, the app also offers you the chance to back up your conversations. In addition, at no cost, you can always store each backup on platforms such as iCloud or Google Drive.

Access your conversations on other devices

Accessing your WhatsApp Messenger conversations on PC is also a very simple process. You can use WhatsApp Desktop or open the browser to view all your chats on WhatsApp Web. You must scan a QR code with your smartphone to securely complete the verification process.

Make calls in WhatsApp Messenger

With WhatsApp Messenger, you can do more than chat via text. The tool also offers a section where you can make voice calls. Through your Internet connection, you will find it very easy to talk to your acquaintances or loved ones wherever they are. At the same time, the app allows you to make HD video calls to see your contacts' faces while you talk. But be careful because the quality of the connection will always depend on the stability of the network from which you are accessing the service.

Create communities and groups

On WhatsApp Messenger, you can create chats and talk to several users at the same time. However, aside from the classic group option, the app will also allow you to build communities. In each community, you can send notices to members very quickly. All while exploring groups, chatting, organizing events, sharing polls, or reacting to messages from other people.

Download the WhatsApp Messenger APK for Android and enjoy this excellent instant messaging app on your smartphone. Access all the latest features of each new WhatsApp update and stay in touch with the people you care about, however far away you might be.

It requires a mandatory update, but without any changes or improvements, it is a very annoying and intrusive protocol.
