The most commonly used platform for communities, the WhatsApp Group feature, was my source of inspiration to build this tool. Like WhatsApp's simplicity and efficiency, I strive to build something similar to solve problems.

The thing I like most about WhatsApp is that it allows you to create a community under which you can create separate thematic groups related to the community - it's quite convenient for communication in organizations, public & other communities.

Favorite messenger, a bridge between friends and colleagues at work, I am glad that it is constantly evolving and adding new features and becoming more and more convenient to use. I use Whatsapp both on my phone and in the application for the computer.

Pros 🌟 Simplicity: The app's UI is incredibly user-friendly. Even my grandma can navigate through it! 👵 Voice Messages: A real game-changer for when you’re on the move or too lazy to type. 🗣️ It makes communication so much more personal and convenient. Cons 👀 Limited to Text & Voice: While voice messages are great, sometimes they're not enough, especially when trying to describe something visual like a design or a project. 🎨 Organization: Voice and text messages can get cluttered, especially in group chats. It's hard to refer back to important points or visualize certain topics. 📚 WhatsApp is fantastic for simple, fast communication. But in an increasingly visual world, we might need something extra to make our interactions even more meaningful and organized. #WhatsApp #VoiceMessages #Simplicity #VisualCommunication

Using it for non-business connecting, for friends and family mostly, works well!

WhatsApp is a simple, fast, and convenient instant messaging application for everyday communication. With features such as private and group chats, voice & video calls, and end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp remains the top choice for many people. 👍 Pros: ✅ Easy to use, simple and lightweight appearance ✅ Free, without annoying ads ✅ End-to-end encryption for privacy security ✅ WhatsApp Web & multi-device features are very helpful ✅ Can send various types of media (documents, images, voice, etc.) 👎 Cons: ❌ Cannot be used on more than one cellphone at the same time ❌ Backup features still rely on Google Drive/iCloud ❌ Spam and hoaxes in groups can be annoying ❌ There is no username like Telegram, so cellphone numbers must be shared 👉 Conclusion: WhatsApp remains the best instant messaging application for everyday communication, mainly because of its simplicity and ability to reach many people.
