Features Of WhatsApp

WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp lets its users synchronize their chats and conversations on their home desktop so that they can send and receive messages directly from the Web or desktop application.

End-to-End Encryption

All the messages and calls that are made are end-to-end encrypted which prevents anyone other than the participants from seeing the contents of the message. Even WhatsApp cannot read messages or conversations.

File Sharing

WhatsApp lets its users send and receive pictures, videos, documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other documents up to 100 MB in size. You can also use WhatsApp to record and send voice notes.
