With over 2 billion users worldwide, WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. It’s available for both Android and iOS, and can be used for free, making it a great choice for staying connected with family and friends.
If you’re new to WhatsApp, getting started is easy. All you need is a smartphone and an internet connection. Once you have those two things, here’s how to chat on WhatsApp:
Step 1: Download the app from your device’s app store. For Android users, this will be Google Play Store. For iOS users, this will be the App Store.
Step 2: When you open the app, you will be prompted to enter your phone number. This is so that WhatsApp can verify your identity and create an account for you.
Step 3: Once your account has been created, you will be asked to enter a name for yourself (this can be changed later). You should also upload a profile picture at this time so that people who have added your number as a contact can easily recognize you when chatting.
Step 4: Now it’s time to add contacts! You can do this manually by entering someone’s phone number or tapping on “Add Contacts” at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to select contacts from your device’s address book or social media accounts such as Facebook and Gmail.
Step 5: Sending messages on WhatsApp is simple – just tap on the contact or group chat that you want to send a message to and type in what you want to say in the text box at the bottom of the screen. When done typing, hit enter or tap on the send icon (which looks like an arrow pointing up) and your message will be sent!
Step 6: You can also make voice or video calls using WhatsApp! To make a voice call, just tap on “Voice Call” next to the contact’s name in their chat window. To make a video call, tap on “Video Call” instead – both options are found next to the person’s name at the top of their chat window.
Chatting on WhatsApp is easy once you know how! With these steps as your guide, you should now have no trouble staying connected with all of your contacts.
