Messengers are a popular means of communication among smartphone and tablet owners around the world. The article is devoted to what Watsap is and how to use it. Let us consider each of the points in order, starting from the features of this application and the installation procedure and ending with its configuration.
Description of the messenger WhatsApp
Many are surprised at such a catchy name of the messenger, vaguely similar to something, and try to figure out what "WhatsApp" means. The phrase itself is consonant with the expression what’s up? (in translation - how are you), but at the same time it is written differently, with an emphasis on its "mobile" purpose. But the name is not all that the application has to offer its users.
The messenger allows people to communicate at a distance, and it is absolutely free (Internet traffic, if connected via a mobile network, is paid according to the tariff, no extra charges). It is possible to conduct correspondence, send voice messages, multimedia information, as well as calls, including video communication. Chat messages can be decorated with emoticons, supplemented with geolocation or audio explanations.
Developers place great emphasis on the security of their application. It uses end-to-end encryption. This is a method of protecting data (in this case, any information sent or received), in which only the sender and the recipient can view the message. Interception during the transfer does not make sense, since everything is encrypted.
Installing the app
Everything is clear with the features of the messenger and what WhatsApp is, now let's move on to installing it. And this is no different from the procedure for installing other applications. It is enough to go to the App Store or Play Market, type WhatsApp in the search and download the desired item.
If there is not enough space on the device, then a corresponding error will occur. In this case, delete unnecessary data and try again.
check in
Registration in the application is extremely simple. You just need to enter your phone number and wait for the SMS with a PIN code to arrive. Users of smartphones and tablets on Android of the latest versions can enable the function of intercepting information about messages (a notification about this will come automatically, if such a possibility is provided by the system). Then you will not need to enter the secret combination, it will be automatically copied into the corresponding field.
Customization
When the application is installed on the device and the account is registered, you can proceed to using the messenger. You can improve the convenience of this process by customizing it.
Go to the setup menu from any screen in the application. The first point to configure for most users is notifications. Open the appropriate tab and set the alert options to your preference. You can also turn off sounds directly from a specific dialogue or group, leaving the rest unchanged. 
Then it's worth enabling backups. It is valid for both iPhone and Android. But in the first case, the data is uploaded to iCloud, in the second - to Google Drive. To configure go to "Chat - Backup ...". 
Owners of limited internet will be interested in the ability to compress traffic, as well as change network parameters. The section "Data" is responsible for these items. 
You can improve the security of your correspondence and personal information by enabling two-step verification. It is called in the "Account" section.
Using
You don't need to figure out how to use WhatsApp. The messenger interface is intuitive. The number of controls is minimal, there are only three functional tabs: Chats, Status and Calls... In the first, you can view all message histories that have not been deleted or archived.
The second is for short notes. The statuses of the added contacts are displayed there, from there you can also change yours. The "Calls" tab is intended for making calls. The application, as already mentioned, supports voice and video communication.
All screens display a button to search for content and bring up a menu. Understanding the use of Watsap is very simple. It is enough to make several calls or participate in correspondence, then the location of all elements will become obvious.
Every year, computer technology is developing, as is the software for it. New startups, and in the future, well-known brands give us interesting and useful applications. One of these startups is WhatsApp. Despite its huge current popularity, not everyone knows how to use WhatsApp. Therefore, we will try to concisely but informatively answer popular questions about this service, describe its advantages and tell you how to work with it.

However, you cannot register without a SIM card, since the service is tied to a mobile number (you can use a virtual number, but this is expensive).
Smartphone app capabilities
On a smartphone, WhatsApp is an indispensable application for many, because it has enormous capabilities. We will now briefly talk about some of them so that after creating an account it will be easier to navigate.

Using WhatsApp on Computer
You can use the messenger not only on smartphones, but also on PCs, which significantly expands the capabilities of the program and makes it possible to stay connected anywhere without any problems. Many do not know how to use it on a computer, but, in fact, it became possible not so long ago - from May 2016.
To install the program on your computer and use WhatsApp, it must already be installed on your smartphone and updated to the latest version.
- Go to the official website - whatsapp.com through your computer and install the program.
- Go to the application from your phone to the "WhatsApp Web" tab.
- There will be a small QR code and instructions on how to open and scan it.
After the final step, you can safely use Watsap and communicate with friends, even from a computer.
Hello dear readers of the blog site. My name is and today I will tell you about two programs that I have been using for quite a long time on my Iphone and they made me very happy during this time (along with).
it Viber (or viber, viber) and Whatsapp (or watsap, watsap). These are very convenient programs for communication through messages and calls using the Internet. Moreover, all this is absolutely free.
What is Viber? What is watsap?
Viber Is a mobile application for making calls, as well as sending messages, not only text, but also video, a photo, audio messages. And it's all absolutely is free (you will only have to pay for the Internet, through which the application works).
Advertisements here no, and, as the developers say, it won't. But there is internal advertising stickers or stickers vibera. It looks a lot like stickers. A picture that expresses your emotions, if simpler - (you can watch). But it works simply as a notification inside the application (numbers in the tab, as on new messages in a dialog). But we will not blame the developer for this, at the moment this is the only thing on which he still earns at the expense of users, except for paid calls to those who do not have Viber (Viber out).
There are also plans to release new paid features, according to Viber, but what is now free will remain so, he says.
Whatsapp - this is a very similar application to Viber, but without the ability to call, although there are other differences, let's figure it out.
- The first difference is "Free"... Yes, for the second year of using WhatsApp, it charges us as much as 0.99 USD.
- Watsap does not have the ability to make calls. Even to unregistered numbers for money (as in the case of Viber out).
- Vatsap is not on pc.
- The vibera has stickers, the watsap cannot boast of such.
This is where the differences seem to be over, except for the main colors of the interface, of course.
I also want to add that although it is competing programs, but personally I believe that not mutually exclusive... I have two installed on my smartphone at once. With the vibeer you can call for free and correspond, but from vatsap only exchange messages... Separately, of course, vibe is more functional, but as WhatsApp is much nicer, this is again. So it's more convenient to use them.
Obvious advantages
I think that many, after reading the above, understood what Viber and WhatsApp give us, but still.
- These two apps are great for saving our budget. Now you just need to put money on your phone to pay for the Internet. And what we would have spent on communication, we can keep for ourselves.
- It is very fast and convenient to exchange anything with your friends and acquaintances - videos, photos, stories.
- Your account is your phone number! You don't need a long registration, that's all contacts from your phone immediately synchronized with the app.
- Communication absolutely not limited by anything. “Let's chat on VKontakte, otherwise it's expensive to speak on the phone” - in the past! Talk to anyone at least day and night.
The history of the creation of Viber and WhatsApp
And after inspiring speeches about the benefits of these two programs, I invite you to learn about the history of their creation. I think it will interest you.
Let's start with vibera.
There was, and there is now such a person -. He then founded Viber with Igor Magazinik in 2010 year... After receiving a degree in computer technology and management, he went to work in Asia, where he experienced huge inconveniences with communication: Skype did not support calls well, and sending SMS was too expensive. Then he got the idea to create Viber.
For the first time the product was launched in the AppStore and only in Israel. On the first day it was installed by 18 people, but after three weeks 31,000. And after the appearance of Viber in the world Appstore, in less than a month there were about 2 million users.
With such a wildly growing popularity, the company does not even have to spend anything on promotion, people do everything themselves.
Have Whatsapp other story.
Vatsap created, who was born in Ukraine, in the town of Fastov. He sold his creation. At that time he was only 36 years old. This social network bought WhatsApp for $ 16 billion and paid another 3 billion development team in four years.
Forbes assessed Jan's condition in $ 6.8 billion... Moreover, it is very ironic that the transaction for the sale of WhatsApp took place in a white building that was previously a center for social assistance - Jan Kum came there to receive food stamps.
Here is the happy billionaire Yang Kum himself.
How to use the WhatsApp mobile app
Now, after a painfully interesting theory, let's try out their mobile versions in practice. For starters, watsap.
So, you've downloaded the WhatsApp mobile app. We open it and see five tabs at the bottom of the screen:
- Favorites
- Status
- Contacts
Let's go over each so that you understand the design of the app and your options for using it.
First tab - Favorites... This is a list of contacts that you have added to your Important List. You can use this tab, for example, if you have many contacts, but you communicate with several of them quite often. By adding them to the list of favorites, you will rid yourself of a host of others.
Further, by going to the next tab, you can change your status... This is necessary so that your friends do not bother you with calls and messages when you are busy. The status can be selected from the templates provided, or by clicking on the current status, write something of your own.
Next are your contacts... They are automatically synced with the contacts on your phone, which is very convenient. Here, in gray, the statuses of contacts are displayed if they have WhatsApp. Also, right here you can add a new contact by clicking on the plus sign in the upper right.
In the next tab the list your chats... This is the history of your correspondence with any contacts. By clicking on any, you can go to the dialogue. It is also possible to create a new dialogue by clicking on the pencil and paper icon in the upper right corner. Or delete the old dialog by clicking on the "edit" button in the upper left corner of the screen. Red minuses will appear next to the dialogs, clicking on which you confirm the deletion.
Just below the inscription change there is an inscription "Mailing Lists"... By clicking on it, you can select the contacts to whom you will send the same message. This is very convenient, for example, if you want to gather your friends in some place. Send a message to everyone you need. Very fast and convenient.
This is how (as in the screenshot below) the whatsapp dialog box looks. On the green background on the right, your messages, on the gray on the left - your interlocutor. Above is the contact's name and avatar (profile photo).
Notice the dial string of the message. To display the keyboard, click on an empty space in the dialing line. To the right of it there will be a camera icon and a microphone.
The camera opens the camera application, from where you can take a picture and instantly send it to your interlocutor. In the same camera there are the last pictures you took, they can also be sent. The microphone is voice message, hold your finger on it and speak. Your interlocutor will receive this recording and will be able to listen to it.
There is an arrow to the left of the message typing line. Click on it and a menu will appear. You can send to your interlocutor photo, video, location or contact... Accordingly, the first tab will allow you to take a photo directly from the application, and photo archive - these are your previously taken photos on the gadget.
The last tab is customization... I do not advise you to bypass it. Since initially, for example, all photos in a dialogue are saved to your device, which I personally don't really like. So let's configure the application to work the way we want it to.
By clicking on the first inscription "About the program" we can see the current version number of the application, as well as contact the WhatsApp support service.
If your friend does not know about watsap yet, and you want to chat with him, send him an invitation message by SMS or email by clicking on "Tell a friend".
There are chat settings... Here you can select the wallpaper that will be displayed as the background of messages in the dialog. By clicking on "Media startup" you can configure what I mentioned earlier. To prevent the watsap from clogging up the memory of your gadget, you can disable auto-upload of photos, audio, and so on.
If you do not want the WhatsApp to make noise on every occasion, then disable everything or selectively it notifications in the appropriate section.
By the way, your chat rooms can be done with one touch of your finger delete or perpetuate in archiveif you scroll to the bottom of the settings.
That's it. Simple and convenient messenger. By the way, an official opportunity has recently appeared.
How to use the Viber mobile app
Now let's deal with the vibe.
In terms of the interface, it is quite similar to WhatsApp, here we see only new functions.
There are also 5 tabs, but they are already different:
- Challenges
- Contacts
- Public
The first one is "Chats" - these are dialogues with your contacts.
There are 2 tabs at the top: Everything and Groups... With the help of Viber, you can create groups of contacts and communicate with everyone at once, like a conference.
In order to to create a group, press the purple button with the corresponding name.
Select the contacts you want for the group and you're done.
If you click on the gray strip labeled "open the keyboard", then you can dial the number manually.
From above, you can sort them by the presence of a vibe, and add a new contact by clicking on the plus.
The next tab is "Public chats"... These are interest group chats that you can read. It turns out something like a social network.
In the tab "more" you can change the profile name and avatar.
In the upper right corner, next to the profile settings, there is QR code... This is your personal code that you can scan and see your profile, and, if you wish, add you to contacts.
This can be done by clicking on the "scan QR code" button. A special camera will open, place the code in the square to scan it.
By going to the section Viber Out you can top up your vibe account to make calls to numbers not registered in the vibe.
There is also sticker shop... These are various sets of pictures that you can use when communicating in Viber. They are paid, but not all, some can be purchased for free on a computer or you can get themed pictures during the holidays.
From the tab you can still add contactby entering its number or by scanning the QR code.
Now let's go to customization... They are all in the same "still".
IN privacy settings you can specify whether you want other users to see that you are online or that they have viewed the message.
Here you can also add contacts to "black list" and they will no longer be able to contact you via Viber. At the very bottom you can disable account.
Can be customized notificationsthat Viber will send you.
In chapter "Calls and messages" you can specify whether you want to receive incoming calls from non-vibe users. Also here you can delete the entire message history or send it by mail.
IN "Multimedia settings" you can refuse to let the vibeer automatically save all photos from dialogs to your device. Disable photo uploading on mobile internet, and delete all voice messages.
IN screen settings you can change the background image of dialogs, as well as the orientation of the window.
IN general settings can go to contact management.
Here you can sync Viber contacts with your address book or icloud. Accordingly, if necessary, you can turn them off.
IN "Information" you can see the version of your application.
Now let's go to "chats" and open any dialogue.
In the upper left corner there will be a contact's name and information about whether he is online or not. To the right will be the phone handset icon, by clicking on which you will instantly call the contact with whom you are in dialogue, and all this is free.
The well-known international business newspaper Financial Times at one time published an assumption that the popular messenger WhatsApp will send SMS into oblivion in the same way as international phone calls went into oblivion with the advent of Skype. What is Watsap and what opportunities users have with its development - in this article.
Vatsap - what is it?
This software application is a consequence of constantly evolving digital technologies. If earlier we could only dream of the opportunity to always be in touch, today we have it, and all kinds of programs make communication with loved ones easier and, which is not a little important, make it cheaper. Vatsap is software that allows you to exchange free SMS messages, send photo, video and audio files, graphics. In 2015, users were able to take advantage of the new backup feature and duplicate their conversations and other data, storing them on Google Drive.
Initially, Watsap was developed for mobile systems of the IOS family, and now it can be used by the owner of smartphones, tablets and computers - most devices with Internet access. The advantage of this app is that there is no need to register and create an account. The role of the identifier is played by the mobile phone number. Therefore, when downloading this application, all people from the directory using this program will automatically appear in the contact list.
How does WhatsApp work?
The Watsap program works through a web interface. The utility functions if there is a SIM card in the device and an active Internet connection. For those who are interested in what WhatsApp is, it should be said that it is a cross-platform program that can work on almost any operating system and interact with any type of device. The user can chat and create their own groups by chatting with multiple members. After the abolition of the monthly fee in 2016, representatives of the business sphere began to test WhatsApp.
Viber or Watsap - which is better?
Whatsapp or Viber - this question worries many users, because at first glance, these two programs are not much different. Both provide the ability to send photos and videos, chat, but they have some differences. As in Watsap, you can create your own group and communicate with several interlocutors at once, but only here there are public group chats and there is a search for them. At the same time, only in Viber you can call a landline or mobile number without Internet access.
And although the feature is paid, the tariff is not too high. While talking through WhatsApp, you will not see your friend's face, but in Viber, the video call function is available. But with all the advantages of this program, WhatsApp has a more user-friendly interface and nice design. Therefore, for those who value simplicity and ease of correspondence, the choice is obvious.
How to install WhatsApp?
WhatsApp messenger is installed in several stages:
- First you need to download the program, and for this it is better to look for a reliable source. These include the App Store, Play Market, etc.
- Enter the program and enter the name of the utility - WhatsApp into the search bar. Next, download. In accordance with the settings of your device, the messenger will ask for the required permissions, and your task is to verify them.
- All that remains is to download the downloaded application.
How to register in Watsap?
After downloading the program, you can proceed to registration:
- Find the icon of the same name in the menu and click on it.
- You will be prompted to accept the license agreement, which you should do.
- In the window that opens, find your own country and phone code.
- You can register in the application if you enter a valid phone number. A password will be sent to you and authorization will be performed automatically. If, while registering the application, you specify a number connected to another gadget, a link will be sent to it, which you need to follow.
- The registration procedure is completed. You can use all the features of the utility. The application is launched in the background as soon as you go online.
How to set up WhatsApp?
Each workspace of the program is displayed in a different way, but the WhatsApp settings, utility functions and its capabilities are almost identical. Here are the standard tabs and buttons you will need:
- "Challenges". It is clear that all information about incoming and outgoing calls is displayed here, as well as in the usual call log on the phone.
- "Chats". Your correspondence is displayed here.
- "Contacts". From the list of your friends and relatives, you can select the desired person and write him a text message, send a video or audio.
- "Search". This button will help you out in case you need important information transferred earlier, but you don't remember where to look for it.
- "A new message". A message can be written to one person or to a whole group of users at once.
- "Options". Several subsections are hidden in this button - "New group", "New mailing", "Selected messages", etc. There are also numerous "Settings" that allow you to change the name of the profile, set the wallpaper, etc.
How to find a person in Watsap?
There is no independent function for finding people in Vatsap - you can find a person here knowing his mobile phone number. Therefore, those who are interested in how to add a contact to WhatsApp should first add the right person to the address book of the mobile phone, and the program itself will scan the address book and give the result. If a friend has the same utility installed, then there will be no problems finding each other.
How to block a contact in Vatsap?
If communication with the interlocutor did not work out or if they send you inappropriate and annoying spam, you can block this user, and he will not even know about it. For those who ask how to block a person in WhatsApp, it must be said that on different devices this can be done in several ways:
- Those who use Android need to go to the "Menu", select "Settings", after "Account", go to "Privacy" and finally "Blocked". By clicking on the icon of a man with a plus, select an unwanted user from the list.
- Owners of iPhone in the "Settings" should select "Account", and from "Privacy" go to "Blocked" and add an annoying interlocutor.
- For those who use Windows Phone, you need to find the "Advanced" tab, in it "Settings" and "Blocked".
I must say that you can also send someone who is not on the phone to blacklist by simply entering the chat and pressing the lock. Another option is to "Report Spam" to the developers. It is clear what Vatsap is and what great opportunities it opens up for Internet users who cannot live a day without communicating with loved ones.
How to remove WhatsApp?
Those wishing to know how to leave WhatsApp should remember that the account cannot be restored. But if you finally decide, select "Settings" in the "Menu", go to "Account" and click "Delete account". The developer will ask you to confirm the operation and will send you a numeric code that you need to enter into the requested menu and verify your actions.
Here is such a useful application. The secrets of WhatsApp are that it is one of the most used instant messengers in the world. It processes more than ten billion messages per day, and soon the owners are planning to add a service for making video calls. So for those who have not yet appreciated all the charms and convenience of the program, it makes sense to install it.
Thanks to WhatsApp, we can continue to use the SMS service, but in a completely different way. Now not only text messages are available for sending, but also photos, music and other multimedia files. This application works on Android, with Nokia and BlackBerry gadgets, and is also suitable for Windows Phone. We offer you the following link.
It is not difficult to download and install the program on your gadget, and as a result, you get access to sending an unlimited number of free messages, be it traditional text messages or files with audio or video. The main thing is to be constantly in touch: no matter, Wi-Fi or 3G. It is also pleasant to use the WhatsApp program on the phone because it does not take up much space in the device's memory.
What is whatsapp on the phone?
Why do you need it if there are traditional social networks? Indeed, this service for free communication is mega-popular; the army of its users already numbers several million people. And they all preferred a more responsive and modern program to the familiar and intrusive social media. It's easy and simple to use watsap on your phone, which is why it has become so ubiquitous.
How to use WhatsApp on your phone: instructions and video
The installation of the program is carried out in several simple steps, the main of which is choosing a location from where to download it, and then carefully following the instructions of the installer.
Before starting the installation, make sure that your device supports this software (we mentioned and listed this above).
You can download the messenger on the official website, or on our portal, because we provide the original version for fast and high-quality download. 
You also need to make sure that the person with whom you are going to correspond has also put Watsapp on his phone, otherwise there will be no point in your actions. In addition, keep in mind that at the moment the program is not intended for tablets, and in the near future the developers are not going to change their position on this issue. In particular, the creators plan to end support on some devices, which, in their opinion, are not suitable for the further development of a number of functions in WhatsApp. Of course, we understand them, because they want to provide us with more modern and effective options for communicating with friends and family. And the user himself will not hurt to switch to more recent versions of Android, iPhone or Windows (for the latest operating system, see also the material ""). The updated WhatsApp was announced at the end of June 2017.
In order to start chatting in a new ultra-modern format, click on the "new chat" picture and select the name of the contact for the conversation. If something goes wrong, read the article and be fully prepared for bots or spam. 
Analysts predict that such software will eliminate text messages in the same way that Skype changed the idea of \u200b\u200binternational phone calls.
We hope that we managed to give you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat it is -Vatsap and how to use it on your phone (smartphone). Now you can communicate with family, friends and colleagues unlimitedly, paying only for Internet traffic at the rate of your operator.
