WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform instant messaging App for smartphones. It uses your phone’s Internet to make calls, send text or voice messages, documents, images, video, user location and audio media messages to other WhatsApp users (including groups of people, set up from your own contacts list) using standard cellular mobile numbers.
Provided you have an adequate data plan, it is free to send and receive messages over WhatsApp to others who also have the App installed on their phone.
Suitable for these Smartphones:
Download the App from your phone's App Store or visit https://www.whatsapp.com/download/
It may not be suitable for old phones, the hardware of which does not match later software upgrades. Or tablets which do not actually have an SMS card slot for making telephone calls.
