In fact, today's contest is about our favorite mobile App. Surely, there are countless apps on mobile phones such as *Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Zoom, Xender, and classroom*, just to mention a few. Within the apps, I chose **WhatsApp** as my favorite mobile app. I'm sure you will be ready to know why I chose it as my favourite. Before I will take you through the features of WhatsApp, I will briefly take you through what WhatsApp is. ### What is WhatsApp? https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd8nN2kjSY3G92pysjhkkZExkXa8qarGpHR2VZRAtBeuy/images.png _{[SOURCE](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd8nN2kjSY3G92pysjhkkZExkXa8qarGpHR2VZRAtBeuy/images.png)} WhatsApp is a multi-platform messaging app that enables users to communicate via text messages, voice calls, and video calls. One can also share images or text on status for other users of WhatsApp in their contact list to be able to view it. Those who are capable of seeing what you have uploaded depend upon your consent. WhatsApp works on both Android and iPhones and makes it easy for a user to continue a conversation anytime, anywhere, provided the network is available. It also takes advantage of either cellular data or wi-fi, which allows users to make one-on-one or group calls, making it less costly. ### Why is WhatsApp my favorite mobile app? Before one chooses something as his/her favourite, there might surely be some quality features of it that please the person. Below is a list of features of WhatsApp which I think after going through them, you will be devoted to WhatsApp. ### What you need to know about whatsapp

* **Calls from the Internet**. WhatsApp uses your phone's cellular data or wi-fi network for messaging, voice calling, and video calling to facilitate. This app allows you to make calls, share documents, videos, and photos, and send and receive messages. * **Easy chatting and easy to call**. There is no need to own the same type of phone as the call recipient. Whatsapp can work on both Androids and iPhones. You can start a conversation with an individual or group and can video chart up to eight people. * **Identify and contact users of WhatsApp in your contact list**. Whatsapp has a feature which allows you to know the people in your contact list currently using the app. Unlike Facebook and other apps, you don't need to add them manually. You can also invite those who have no WhatsApp. * **Creating groups** The WhatsApp platform enables users to create groups for friends and family to chat with up to 256 participants. * **Share your status**. You can upload a photo to your status or type in text that will last up to 24 hours. A user has the ability to decide who can see your status. It has another feature which enables you to block any contact with a WhatsApp account in your list. * **Security** WhatsApp has advanced security features. It has end-to-end encryption. All messages within the platform are strongly secured, which allows only the sender and the receiver to view them.

**NB:** ***It is recommended that you put your WhatsApp account on two-step verification to prevent your account from being hacked.*** ### Conclusion WhatsApp is my favorite app as it makes communication easier in this modern world. It serves over 2 billion people in more than 180 countries and has over 1 billion active users daily.
