Instant messaging on Android directly means WhatsApp Messenger. Send messages, share videos and images and make calls for free from the same app.


Hardly any invention ends up making a big difference in our daily life. But one of them is definitely WhatsApp. Thanks to the quintessential instant messaging app, we are connected to our friends and family 24 hours a day from our smartphones and we have already forgotten about obsolete SMS and MMS.

But the functionalities of this multiplatform application (there are versions for PC and web, and we can even synchronize it with our tablet or our iPad) go beyond the exchange of messages, although this is its primary vocation. By downloading and installing its APK on our Android phone, we can access a whole communication ecosystem that covers both messages and calls, as well as audio, video, and image file sharing. 

A template for Telegram and Google Allo.

And the most important thing is that it is really easy to use since it only takes a phone number to identify yourself, and very secure, because one of the last updates of this service, Which now belongs to Facebook, has led to the implementation of end-to-end end encryption for all our communications. And don't forget ... it's completely free.

What can I do with WhatsApp Messenger for Android?

  • Set up a profile picture and status that all your contacts will see.
  • Send text and voice messages at no additional cost, even to users in other countries.
  • Exchange files (be it photos, audio, or video) with other app users.
  • Possibility to make free calls very easily.

  • Possibility to know the WhatsApp status of your contacts (provided that they have not decided to hide it).
  • Check the system for messages: a gray checkmark means the message has been sent, a gray double-check that the message has been delivered, and a blue double check that the message has been read.
  • Works on both data plans and WiFi.
  • A cross-platform app that can be used on different types of smartphones, as well as your PC, or through the official web app that can be used on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, the new Windows 10 browser.
