WhatsApp is generally seen as being a better option than traditional texting because of its added features and advantages. WhatsApp offers a host of features such as group chats, picture and video sharing, and the ability to send documents like PDFs and Word files, whereas traditional texting is limited to just sending and receiving text messages. WhatsApp also uses data connection and not cellular networks, so it is much faster and more convenient. Additionally, WhatsApp also has end-to-end encryption, meaning that all of your messages will be completely secure.
