WhatsApp Features

Other features of WhatsApp include photo sharing, document sharing (up to 10-MB) and group chats where you can share messages, photos, and videos with up to 256 people at once. Also, mobile communications will sync with a desktop computer or laptop, so you can chat on whatever device is most convenient for you and keep a record of calls in one location.

App Security

By default, WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption to secure messages and calls so only you and the person you’re communicating with can read or listen to them. Nobody in between (not even WhatsApp) can read what is sent. WhatsApp is part of the Facebook family of companies since 2014 and requires users to be at least 13 years old to use the service.
