Some of your most personal moments are shared on the program, which is why it built end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of the app.

The program voice and video calls use your phone's Internet connection, instead of your cell plan's voice minutes, so you don't have to worry about expensive calling charges. And with free video calls, you can have face-to-face conversations when voice or text just isn't enough. With voice calls, you can free talk to your friends and family, even if they're in another country. Download the desktop app or visit to get started. With the software on the web and desktop, you can seamlessly sync all of your chats to your computer so that you can chat on whatever device is most convenient for you. You can also name your group, mute or customize notifications, and more. With group chats, you can share messages, photos, and videos with up to 256 people at once. Keep in touch with the groups of people that matter the most, like your family or coworkers. The tool uses your phone's Internet connection to send messages so you can avoid SMS fees. Message your friends and family for free. This tool supports only 64-bits versions of Windows. The app must be installed on your cell phone so you can use WhatsApp 64-bit on your PC. The feature that lets us manage media auto-download settings has been released to some lucky beta testers and it is rolling out to more accounts over the coming weeks.Just like the Web app, the New Desktop App lets you, message friends and family, while your phone stays in your pocket.

In case you don’t have this feature, don’t worry: you do not need to reinstall the beta version of WhatsApp Desktop because this is not how things work and you have to wait for a future update where the rollout is wider for more users. Note that these settings are not synced with your device since you may need different settings per device.

As always, voice notes are always automatically downloaded for the best messaging experience.

As you can see in this screenshot, it is really easy to discover if the feature is already enabled for your WhatsApp account: just open WhatsApp Settings and if media auto-download settings show up, it means you can already start to manage these options! Thanks to this section, you can manage auto-download settings for photos, videos, and documents.
