WhatsApp is an encrypted messaging platform that's free to use, but if the app doesn't seem to be working properly, there are a few steps users can take to fix it. Since its launch in 2009, WhatsApp has added several useful features, making it an all-in-one communication tool that allows users to send and receive text messages, images, videos, documents, make voice and video calls, and much more.
