Why it’s the best
What it is
WhatsApp is the messaging app owned by Meta: text messages, voice and video calls and group chats, on mobile, desktop and the web.
What users say
In the WhatsApp user reviews on Capterra (2026), reviewers praise it as simple and reliable, with multimedia sharing and voice and video calls that work across devices, and they name its end-to-end encryption as a reason for trusting it with private conversations.
The downsides
The same reviews also list the downsides: it needs a stable internet connection, photos and videos fill the phone's storage over time, and scams, phishing and misinformation spread in large group chats.
