    My wife is in Ethiopia. We met online dating site and we have been talking for over a year. Just yesterday at met some people who live in Ethiopia and I was having difficulty calling and texting them.
    I did a Google search and your TH-cam clip came up. You made it so fast and easy to understand.
    I want to thank you for posting your TH-cam clip.

    I'm not very tech savvy. Today I got 2 messages on "TH-cam" encouraging me to reply, but I don't have an account & I don't know how to reply. In your explanation, you spoke faster than I can listen. Do I call the # on my smartphone? Text the # on my smartphone? Your "beginner" audience is obviously way more sophisticated than me. Sorry, but this video was just an incomprehensible blur.

    I recently had to reset my iPhone. I backed up to icloud, reset, then restored from icloud. When opening whatsapp it required I setup again. When I finished I was no longer connected to the groups I was a member in. I have 2 phone numbers and I was wondering if I entered the wrong number. How can I check which number I originally had

    Good information, but you talk too fast. Once you said something like "touch here" and something happened, but with multiple places to touch it was confusing. I replayed it several times but could not determine what you meant. Also, since it was titled "beginner's guide" I expected much more in the beginning much slower for us beginners.

      @@Howfinity Nobody will be insulted in you shared your learning as if you were speaking with clarity to five year olds. Assume very little about your audience's prior understanding. AND, remember that the video portraying the user interface is only a couple of inches high and wide on many people's devices so a small icon will be presented as little more than a large dot on the screen so if its not clearly identified through some other means, you've completely lost us with no chance of catch up. Oh yes, slooooooow down as users may be interacting with their devices as you race through what you already understand and know.

Many of them are US based, older, and technology challenged. This should help relieve some anxiety for many of them. The only thing missing which would make it perfect for my users is how to connect the WhatsApp Web/Desktop so they can use it on their computer. 99% of my usage is on my computer and it is fantastic. Please consider adding this to your next Beginners Guide or creating a seperate video that includes this feature. Thank you and kudos to you!

    Hi. Great video - but when someone calls me on what’s app - and I don’t answer they don’t get a message to leave a message. Can you receive messages via what’s app. Thanks

      Use a real computer, when making vids.
      A phone doesn't access all of the buttoms.
      Keep trying.
      Practice makes perfect.

    I am confused as to whether international calls are free. I am in the US so if I want to call another country, is the call free? I read conflicting info. Some say only if on WiFi. Others say the receiving person has to have WhatsApp while others say you can call any phone. I can't seem to get correct info. Anyone?

      I’ve never paid for a call on it. As far as I understand, if you don’t use wifi, data charges apply since you are using data and wifi calls are free, since you are using voice IP tech and not cell service. faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000016/?category=5245237

      I’ve only called people with WhatsApp installed. If they didn’t have it, I messaged them and told them to download it before calling and then called them on WhatsApp

    So what exactly is the difference between messaging someone on WhatsApp or messaging them normally? Seems like everything goes from phone number to phone number, so what's the point of WhatsApp?

    Nice clear intro to WhatsApp. New to me! Can I make overseas calls free of charge? Canada to England and vice versa? Thanks, I’ll be back as I can’t take it all in with a single viewing!

    Sorry if you touched on my question and I missed it, but once I sign up, does the App notify all my contacts that have "whatsapp" that I have signed up?
    I actually prefered that it didn't, but wanted to ask. Thanks.

      That's a good questions. I don't think so but I'm honestly not a 100% sure on this.

    What’s the purpose of what’s app though? Can I search for people or why would I be using it for?
