Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about downloading and using WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees, no ads, and no hidden charges. You only need a data connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to send messages and make calls.
Download WhatsApp from your device's app store, open the app, enter your phone number, verify with the SMS code, and you're ready to go. Setup takes less than 2 minutes. Your existing chats can be restored from a backup.
Yes! WhatsApp supports multi-device. You can link up to 4 companion devices (phones, tablets, computers) and use them simultaneously, even when your primary phone is offline.
Android 5.0 and above, or iOS 15.1 and above for mobile. For desktop: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later, and Windows 10 version 1903 or later.
WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption powered by the Signal Protocol. This means only you and the person you're communicating with can read your messages — not WhatsApp, not Meta, and not anyone else.
You can back up chats to Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone) and restore them on your new device during setup. WhatsApp also supports direct phone-to-phone transfer via a local Wi-Fi connection.
