What is WhatsApp?

Whatsapp is one of the most important communication channels that has become an integral part of any business and integral part in the sense it is much easier to access and come in contact with. With the certainty of keeping consistency in communicating with customers, it has become mandatory for everybody to have WhatsApp without any doubt. 

Key Features of WhatsApp

  1. Text Messaging: WhatsApp allows users to send text messages to their contacts, individually or in group chats.

  3. Media Sharing: Users can share photos, videos, documents, and other media directly through the app.

  4. Voice Messages: WhatsApp allows users to record and send voice messages to their contacts.

  5. End-to-End Encryption: All messages, calls, and media shared on WhatsApp are secured with end-to-end encryption, meaning only you and the person you’re communicating with can read or listen to them.
