WhatsApp Messenger

簡單。個人化。安全。

Whats App 最近在Twitter上透露，它擁有超過 20 億用戶，每月發送的訊息多達1000 億條！真是了不起！WhatsApp通過提供大量功能和簡單的用戶界面，已成功吸引了數十億用戶。

儘管由於擔心 WhatsApp 與 Facebook 共享用戶數據，許多人現在正在轉向不同的通訊應用程序，但它仍然是用戶的主要溝通工具。事實上，到目前為止，WhatsApp仍然使用點對點加密，Facebook仍然無法訪問你的任何通訊對話。讓我們來看看 WhatsApp 提供的最佳功能吧。

【視頻/語音通話】

WhatsApp的視頻和語音通話已經發展了好幾年。最初的時候效果並不好，經常斷線。但隨著公司不斷改進，近年來它的通話功能已經變得非常流暢。現在，它更加支持群組通話。每次通話最多可以添加8個成員到你們的通話中。在工作中，如果人數不多，使用它來開會比起使用zoom更方便。因為你只需要按下通話鍵，然後添加成員就可以。

【畫中畫】

最新的WhatsApp支持畫中畫功能。如果有朋友發送一個視頻給你，你可以直接在WhatsApp中打開並觀看，而不需要跳轉到其它app才能觀看。這個功能目前支援YouTube、Facebook、Instagram和Streamable等平台的視頻。

【新的儲存管理工具】

以往使用WhatsApp其中一個最大的問題，就是隨著越來越多人發送文件給你，你的電話儲存空間就會變得越來越小。

好消息是，WhatsApp改進了它的儲存管理工具！現在，你可以在設置中看到所有發送過的圖片、文件、視頻。它還會顯示大於5MB的文件。你可以選擇這些文件並刪除它們。

你還可以選擇群組，將當中的文件一次過刪除。這個功能相當好用！因為有時朋友們總喜歡在群組中發送許多無聊的圖片、視頻，你絕對不會再找出來看第二次的。這樣，你就可以清空更多手機的空間了。

【藍色勾和上次閱讀時間】

藍色勾和上次閱讀時間是 WhatsApp 最受歡迎的功能之一。人們喜歡知道他們的消息何時被聯繫人傳遞和閱讀。你還可以查看上次在線的時間。當然，也有朋友不喜歡自己的隱私被看到，這時你可以在設置中禁用這些功能。只需轉到設置 > 帳戶 > 隱私 > 禁用已讀回執或上次看到。

【語音訊息】

有時當你有許多話要同朋友說，又不想打太多文字，這個功能就非常好。你可以發送語音訊息！只需要按住咪高峰icon說話，WhatsApp就會自動錄音。當你放開手，訊息就會被送出。過程十分簡單易用。

【指紋鎖】

指紋鎖是 WhatsApp 的一項隱私功能，它增加了額外的安全保障。啟用後，只有你可以訪問你的聊天記錄。用戶還可以在通知中啟用或禁用消息上下文預覽。 WhatsApp 提供了三個選項來自動鎖定。第一個是“立即”，第二個是“1 分鐘後”，第三個是“30 分鐘後”。 WhatsApp 的指紋鎖定功能不會阻止通話，只會隱藏消息。

【結論】

WhatsApp並沒有太多花哨的功能，例如複雜的視頻編輯器、圖片編輯器或者Stories等。但這也就是它的優點。正如創辦人最初的構想，就是要提供人們a quiet workplace （安靜的工作場景）。因此，在這裡，簡單就是美。

How WhatsApp Messenger Works

WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.

In addition to basic messaging WhatsApp users can create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages. WhatsApp uses your phone’s Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to message and call friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, calls, photos, videos, and Voice Messages. First year FREE!* (WhatsApp may charge thereafter, current price is $0.99 USD/year).

WHY USE WHATSAPP

• NO ADDITIONAL FEES: WhatsApp uses your phone’s Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to message and call friends and family, so you don’t have to pay for every message or call.
• MULTIMEDIA: Send and receive photos, videos, and Voice Messages.
• WHATSAPP CALLING: Call your friends and family using WhatsApp for free, even if they’re in another country. WhatsApp calls use your phone’s Internet connection rather than your cellular plan’s voice minutes.* (Note: you can’t access 911 and other emergency service numbers through WhatsApp).
• GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group chats with your contacts so you can easily stay in touch with your friends or family.
• WHATSAPP WEB: You can also send and receive WhatsApp messages right from your computer’s browser.
• NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: There’s no extra charge to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends around the world and avoid international SMS charges.
• SAY NO TO USERNAMES AND PINS: Why bother having to remember yet another username or PIN? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS, and integrates seamlessly with your phone’s existing address book.
• ALWAYS LOGGED IN: With WhatsApp, you’re always logged in so you don’t miss messages. No more confusion about whether you’re logged in or logged out.
• QUICKLY CONNECT WITH YOUR CONTACTS: Your address book is used to quickly and easily connect you with your contacts who have WhatsApp so there’s no need to add hard-to-remember usernames.
• OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your recent messages until the next time you use the app.
• AND MUCH MORE: Share your location, exchange contacts, set custom wallpapers and notification sounds, email chat history, broadcast messages to multiple contacts at once, and more!

Please Note: Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details.
