OGWhatsApp

OGWhatsApp is a social app for Android devices—a modified version of WhatsApp. It allows you to send voice messages, eliminating the need to type, and lets you quickly check the online status and real-time activity of your contacts. You can share media in its original quality, and this version features updated drawing tools as well as new administrative controls for group owners. The settings interface has been completely revamped; the app is entirely free, making communication more convenient and offering enhanced functionality.

Features

Send Voice Notes

Typing on mobile using the keyboard is commonly considered difficult and most people avoid this confusing situation. Now, you are free of messing with the keyboard simply press a small “Mic” option on your chat screen and speak what you want to say with your contacts, and press the send option. Feel free and wait for a reply. 

Online Status

You are capable of watching the online status of your required contact. It makes it easy to connect as you can call or message the person for a fast reply if he/she is online. Or if the person is offline you can check the ‘Last seen’ also. It offers the activities of your contact such as ‘typing or recording audio’ can also be seen on the top of the chat screen, likewise, you are informed about the sending, devilry, and read by the recipient. You can disable the ‘Read receipts’ option and active status from the Settings of the app.

Share your videos and photos with original resolution qualities. Simply click and send your favorite videos, photos, memes, links, and so on. Additionally, you are capable to share documents with different file formats such as text documents, PDFs, slideshows, Hypertext Markup Language files, ZIP archives, and so on. You can send up to 100MB of video or other files to your friends and family.

User comments

OGWhatsApp has become one of those apps I use every single day. It's been my main messaging tool since i dated my wife 14 years ago and now we're married. Messaging is quick, calls are reliable, and sharing photos, videos, and documents is super convenient. The interface is simple and easy to understand, which makes staying connected with family, friends, and work (especially in group) so much easier.

My problem with this App was settled. Thank you. But sometimes, if you make a number of errors in a post you are allowed to edit for only a few times. But sometimes doesn't allow more editing and ending up leaving a post with some unedited errors. Sometimes, we share posts to a number of people and we end up getting restricted but there is nothing wrong with the posts and they are not any spam at all. Thanks.

This is a go-to app for me, for virtually every chat, information, correspondence or communication. However, the app keeps stopping on my Android phone since yesterday. I've cleared the cache, restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but the issue is not yet fixed. Right now, I can't access the OGWhatsApp app. The linked app on the desktop has stopped working today as well.

Summarize

OGWhatsApp is the world's most popular messaging app for Android. Thanks to its truly intuitive operation and an interface that continues to evolve with each new update, this tool provides easy access to online conversations where you can combine text, images, videos, audio, stickers, GIFs and even polls.
