How to Use WhatsApp

How to Use WhatsApp: WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps ever made, with more than 2.5 billion users all over the world. It is the best way to talk to people in other countries. WhatsApp lets you make free phone calls, video calls, and messages. Any international friend or family member can just say, “WhatsApp me,” and we all know that when a company becomes a verb, it has truly entered the zeitgeist.

Want to join in on the popularity of WhatsApp? This quick guide will show you how to use WhatsApp Messenger on iOS, Android, or your computer in a few easy steps.

What is WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is a free app that can be downloaded on iPhones, Android phones, Macs, and Windows computers. It lets you send messages, pictures, videos, and even voice recordings for free. You can also make free voice and video calls over the internet instead of using your mobile network to do the same things. FaceTime already lets iPhone users do this with other iPhone users, iPad users, and Mac users. But since Android phones and tablets can’t use FaceTime, WhatsApp is the best way to talk to someone who doesn’t have an Apple device.

It’s important to know that WhatsApp will use your mobile data connection if you’re not connected to wi-fi. If you mostly use WhatsApp over mobile data instead of wi-fi, you might want to look into a plan that doesn’t count messaging tools when figuring out how much data you use. With Virgin Mobile, for example, you can send messages, photos, audio files, and attachments without using up any of your data.

How to Use WhatsApp

Downloading and installing the app

WhatsApp is available from all popular app stores for all the major platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Mac and PC. The app is completely free. Just install and launch it as you would any other smartphone app.

Setting up your account

• Allow WhatsApp to access your contacts and your photos.
• Tap in your name and add an image as an avatar.

Adjusting your settings

• In the Settings pane under Edit Profile, locate the About line and tap.
• You’ll see the Currently Set To status and you can choose from the pre-made ones.
• You can also write an original status if you prefer.

Changing your phone number

It’s easy to change your number on WhatsApp if you have a new one. Just click on the three dots at the top right of your WhatsApp screen, then choose Settings > Account > Change Number. If you change your phone number, the app will move your account information, groups, and settings. All of your old messages will still be available to you. If you have a new phone and a new number, you’ll need to change your number on your old phone first. Tap Next, then type in both your old and new phone numbers. Tap Next again to confirm the change.

Adding new contacts

• Tap the Chats icon at the bottom right.
• Tap New Contact.
• Add the name and phone number of that person.
• You can now also add friends by tapping the QR Code symbol to the right of New Contact and scanning their QR code.
• You can invite a new user by scrolling down to the bottom of the window and tapping Invite Friends to WhatsApp, where you can choose to send an email or text message invite.

Start chatting

• Select the person you want to chat with.
• Tap the chat box at the bottom of the screen.
• Type in your message and feel free to add emojis, images, videos, or voice messages using the icons to the right of the chatbox. The little square lets you add a sticker. The camera lets you add a photo or video, and the microphone lets you press and hold to immediately record a voice message in the app.
• Then tap the arrow icon to send.
