in another country. And with free* video calls, you can have face-to-face
conversations for when voice or text just isn't enough. WhatsApp voice and video
calls use your phone's Internet connection, instead of your cell plan's voice
minutes, so you don't have to worry about expensive calling charges.

END-TO-END
ENCRYPTION
Security
by Default
Some of
your most personal moments are shared on WhatsApp, which is why we built
end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of our app. When end-to-end
encrypted, your messages and calls are secured so only you and the person
you're communicating with can read or listen to them, and nobody in between,
not even WhatsApp.
