1. INTRODUCTION

W hatsapp does not fall into social

media categorization like
Facebook because it is a
messaging app for smartphones. WhatsApp was made for
mobile devices and not for computers.
According to the official website www.whatsapp.com
there are today more than 1 billion people in over 180
countries that use WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends

and family, anytime and anywhere. WhatsApp is free and it
offers simple, secure, reliable messaging and calling and is
available on phones all over the world.

WhatsApp is unique in that it provides a free message
service that allowed users to log in with their phone
number. Whatsapp allows users to send text messages and
voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share
images, documents, user locations, and other media
The story of the creation of Whatsapp can be used for
encouragement to people not to give up on any vision they
may have.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the
end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait
for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Habakuk 2:3
