WhatsApp 1 article

WhatsApp is a messaging and calling platform used across the UAE for private chats, group conversations, voice and video calls, document sharing and location sharing. End-to-end encryption is central to personal messaging, while Communities, Channels and WhatsApp Business extend the service into larger groups and customer communication.

In Dubai, WhatsApp is relevant to everyday personal contact as well as communication between customers and businesses. Group messaging, business accounts and media sharing make it part of how people organise appointments, services, social plans and local communities, while its role remains distinct from public social-media feeds.
