How does Whatsapp work?
Whatsapp is an instant messaging application linked to your phone number.
You must first build a Whatsapp profile with several elements (name, first name, photo, description). It's simple, fast and efficient.
The main tab for using Whatsapp will be the "Discussion" tab. This is where you will find your discussion groups but also your messages with your relatives, colleagues and friends.
The "Calls" tab will show you your call history.
When to use Whatsapp?
Whatsapp is useful for communicating with your friends and family.
But the tool can also be used professionally.
In fact, you can set up Whatsapp groups for your company (for small businesses) or for agencies or individuals in your company's area.
This will allow you to discuss and exchange in a more accessible and quicker way than on chat rooms such as Slack.
In addition, it allows exchanges and sharing on things other than work and thus strengthen the links between people within a company.
A cohesion can be created and the employees feel more "at ease" within the company.
