WhatsApp is a widely-used messaging application that allows users to send text messages, voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share images and documents. It was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum and quickly gained popularity for its simplicity and security features. In 2014, WhatsApp was acquired by Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly known as Facebook, Inc.) for approximately $22 billion. The app has become an essential communication tool globally, especially in regions where traditional SMS services are less accessible.
