Mobile messaging apps offer a great alternative to email and texting, thanks to social networking features, strong security, and free video calling. You may be familiar with popular apps like Facebook Messenger and FaceTime. But there are many more options, each with their own special features.

WhatsApp is a mobile text messaging app designed for smartphones and tablets. It allows you to send text messages, make VoIP calls, and share files from your phone or computer.

It also lets you share your GPS location and see the other person’s location without leaving the app, thanks to a built-in map. Set a status message that all your contacts can see without messaging each one individually, and follow channels about the topics and people that interest you.

This app also provides access to Meta AI for image generation, theme-based communities, disappearing messages, and polls.
