WhatsApp review

In general, WhatsApp for Android allows you not only to send text messages in a chat window, but also to make video and voice calls for free. All messages exchanged via this app, including files, voice, images, are protected with an end-to-end encryption. The same encryption protocol is also employed by Signal. In addition to that, there is also the video call feature which enables you to connect to another WA user, either during a chat or from the Calls screen. Even so, as for now, the group video calls feature isn’t yet to be available.

Meanwhile, to chat with other users, you can chat simply one-on-one or with a group you set up and administer. Each group chat can hold 256 members in total, tops. As you chat with a contact or in a group, you can send not only texts, but also emojis. In addition, the chat also enables you to create voice messages you’ve recorded earlier, share documents, send your location, and even capture and customize photos. Chatting is also free, especially since the developer dropped the annual subscription fee last year. And although the services are free, WA doesn’t run any third-party ads, which will free you from any pesky pop-out ads.

There are so many benefits you can enjoy from using this app as your messaging service on an Android device. Even so, this app isn’t perfect either, since there are also some things that are missing in this app.


Pros

* Use the Broadcast Lists to send messages to multiple contacts at once, which will greatly save your time when sending greetings or bulk invitation.
* You can share your location with any desired contact.
* Text messages are not the only service offered, but also video and audio calls.
* You no longer need to use earphones when there’s an audio message incoming, even when you’re in a public area. Simply bring your Android smartphone close to your ear as the message is played. Doing this will decrease the audio volume and you can listen to the message as if you’re on a call.
* The end-to-end encryption will secure all your conversations, meaning that nobody has any access to it or even can read, including WhatsApp, aside from you and the one you’re communicating with.
