HELP & INFO ABOUT WHATSAPP FOR WINDOWS


 * IS WHATSAPP FREE?
   
   Though the app was initially free for the first year, after which a small
   subscription fee of $0.99 was charged, it was decided to make the app
   completely free in early 2016. This came shortly after Facebook bought the
   app. The company intended to profit through commercial ventures, keeping it
   free for users.


 * IS WHATSAPP SOCIAL MEDIA?
   
   In the broad sense that this app allows you to communicate with others
   socially, it could be considered social media. However, in a more narrowly
   defined sense, the app is an instant messaging app. The scope of what this
   app does is much more limited than typical social media services and apps.


 * IS WHATSAPP SECURE?
   
   The platform encrypts messages end to end with unique lock and key
   information. This means that the information being sent between the
   participants in a messaging conversation are the only ones who can read said
   information. Even the company who own the app can access this information,
   making it completely secure for users of the app.


 * IS WHATSAPP SAFE?
   
   Though the app is encrypted end to end, it is still possible to be sent
   harmful or offensive content over the platform. It is important to make
   informed decisions regarding who you communicate with on the platform, what
   you share, and what you accept from them while using it.


 * WILL WHATSAPP WORK ON PC?
   
   There is no native application for desktop platforms such as PC. There is,
   however, a web client which can be used in tandem with your phone. The web
   client is verified by the app on your phone, allowing you to message from
   your PC like you would in the regular app.


 * HOW WHATSAPP WORKS?
   
   The app is a secure and private messaging service that works by setting a
   unique encryption key for each conversation. Information is then encrypted
   end to end, making it completely private. The app is tied to a phone number
   and uses data, rather than SMS, to send information between contacts.


 * WILL THE PERSON I BLOCKED ON WHATSAPP KNOW?
   
   When a person is blocked in the app, they are not explicitly notified. There
   are, however, indicators that may let them know, such as not being able to
   see when the contact who blocked them was last online. Blocked contacts also
   cannot see your profile photo, or make calls to you.


 * WILL WHATSAPP WORK WITHOUT SIM?
   
   The app is intended to be tied to a mobile phone number, and can only be set
   up on a device after a confirmation SMS message with an activation message
   has been sent and received. However, there are ways to get around this
   limitation using additional apps and techniques during setup.


 * HOW TO LOGIN TO WHATSAPP?
   
   Once the app is set up on a device, there is no login process. For the web
   client, a QR code will be displayed when you go to the client. In the app,
   pull up the menu and click "WhatsApp Web". Click add a device and point the
   camera at the QR code.


 * HOW TO WHATSAPP A PHOTO?
   
   Sending a photo over WhatsApp can be done one of two ways. Either click the
   paperclip icon and select an image from your device, or click the camera icon
   and take a new photo. There are options to edit the image, such as resizing,
   or drawing on it.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any
potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is
uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This
comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as
follows:


Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more
than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been
detected.


Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled
software.

WHY IS THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM STILL AVAILABLE?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false
positives.

WHAT IS A FALSE POSITIVE?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly
broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.


Blocked

It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted
bundled software.

WHY IS THIS SOFTWARE PROGRAM NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN OUR CATALOG?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are likely to be
real positives.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially
malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of
programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every
catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those
concerns as soon as possible.
