WhatsApp makes it easy to understand and customize your privacy and security. Learn more on our privacy page.
Check the information you receive
Consider whether the messages you receive are true since not everything you hear will be true. If you do not know who sent the message you received, we encourage you to re-examine the details and trustworthy organizations that look for the truth. Learn more about how to prevent the spread of inaccurate information in this article.
Forwarded messages
To help prevent the spread of false information, we limit how you can send messages. You can easily see messages sent because they have a Forwarded label. When a message is transferred from one user to another user several times, it is indicated by a duplicate arrow icon. You can read about transfer restrictions in this article.
With WhatsApp on the web and desktop, you can easily sync all your conversations to your computer so you can chat on any device that’s best for you. Download the desktop app or visit web.whatsapp.com to get started.
With voice calls, you can talk to your friends and family for free *, even if they are in another country. And with free video calls *, you can have face-to-face conversations when voice or text is not enough. WhatsApp voice and video calls use your phone’s Internet connection, instead of your cell phone’s voice minutes, so you don’t have to worry about expensive calling rates.
Some of your time is shared on WhatsApp, which is why we have created the end encryption in the latest versions of our app. When end-to-end is encrypted, your messages and calls are secure so only you and your contact person can read or listen to them, and no one is in, not even WhatsApp.
