WhatsApp Messanger
About
**NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. It is not assembled by Teamwhatsapp, and it is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Teamwhatsapp. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the whatsapp bug tracker: https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.** WhatsApp from Meta is a FREE messaging and video calling app. It’s used by over 2B people in more than 180 countries. It’s simple, reliable, and private, so you can easily keep in touch with your friends and family. WhatsApp works across mobile and desktop even on slow connections, with no subscription fees*. *Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details.
