It is like a trusted friend at this point\!

I have used a teams WhatsApp in all of my past job roles. I use it to communicate with my own team as well as customers with messaging, sending pictures and even video calls. It is far quicker sometimes to send a quick Whatsapp than countless e-mails and I can also do this from the bakery floor. There are regular updates from the WhatsApp team and the only issue I have ever had is sometimes notifications don't come through straight away, however I believe that to more likely by my phone or the Wi-Fi than the app itself. > > **Cons**: I have used Messenger (and still do for a few that don't have Whatsapp) I can honestly say, in my opinion, that it tops it in every way. The only minor issue is I don't always get notifications at work but because this is only at work I believe it to be the Wi-Fi as opposed to be App. > > I use it everyday. I use it in-house and to talk to customers. I have also had. off site IT support call me through it and the video call makes life so much easier. ----- ### "Is WhatsApp right for you?" — 3.0/5 > **Christy** | *31 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Whatsapp is free and is easy to use for messaging and video calls, which is what I used it for mainly. > > **Cons**: WhatsApp needs to use your personal telephone number - which, for me, is the biggest drawback because I like to have full anonymity. > > Overall, WhatsApp is very easy to use and requires no experience or training - You can set-up and use in under 5 minutes\! ----- Page: 1 / 653\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/180345/whatsapp?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/180345/whatsapp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
