WhatsApp, a play on the casual greeting "what's up?", is an ad-free mobile messaging app that allows users to exchange text and media messages through their Internet data plan or through Wi-Fi. Users do not have to pay for SMS. Once you start using WhatsApp to connect with your friends, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
1. Download WhatsApp for your phone. The app is available on its website and in the iTunes App Store and Android Marketplace.
WhatsApp does not sell advertising so users have a clean messaging experience free of cost.
2. Launch the app from your smartphone. Follow the onscreen prompts to create a WhatsApp account that will be linked to your phone number. Allow WhatsApp to sync with your Contacts to message people you know with ease.
3. Manage your Favorites. Once in your account, you will see all of your contacts who already have a WhatsApp account on the "Favorites" tab. Keeping this list will allow you to know who has WhatsApp, but it may be too cluttered if you want to access a few frequent contacts with ease.
You can tap "Edit" in the top left corner and then "Delete All" to clear the list and start from scratch, or toggle the red delete switch next to each name to delete people individually.
You can still see your contacts in the "Contacts" tab (middle button of the navigation bar). Contacts who have WhatsApp will have their statuses displayed underneath their name. If you tap on a contact, you will also know if they have WhatsApp because it will give you the option to "Message <name>" instead of "Invite <name> to WhatsApp."
4. Change your status. Tap "Status" in the bottom horizontal navigation bar. Tap the "+" in the top right corner to add a new custom status.
You can edit your current status by tapping the button under "Your current status is:" or selecting a default or previous status from the list below.
If you'd like to clear your statuses, tap "Edit" in the top left corner to delete them individually or scroll down and tap "Clear Status" to delete them all.
5. Invite friends you'd like to message to use WhatsApp. Tap on the "Contacts" tab in the middle of the navigation bar. Find a contact and tap on it to view its details. Tap "Invite <name> to get WhatsApp" to send them an SMS invitation to download the app.
If you use this option to invite a contact from another country, both of you may be subject to international SMS charges. You may want to send them an email to join WhatsApp instead. To do this, go to Settings >> Tell a Friend and then select the method of delivery.
In order to message a friend on WhatsApp, they must have been added into your phone's contacts. Ensure that their phone number has been entered into your address book accurately and that they have installed WhatsApp.
