WhatsApp is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone, and Nokia Symbian phones. The app uses your phone’s internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you message and call friends and family.

WhatsApp Web is a computer-based extension of the WhatsApp account on your phone. The service allows users to send and receive messages, photos, and other information via the web.
