Yes, you can use WhatsApp on a plane, but it depends on the airline and whether they offer Wi-Fi or free texting.
Whether you can use WhatsApp on a plane depends on the availability of Wi-Fi or free texting services offered by the airline. Here's a breakdown:
-
Wi-Fi Required: To use WhatsApp for messaging, calling, and sending media, you typically need a Wi-Fi connection. Many airlines offer Wi-Fi for a fee.
-
Free Texting: Some airlines might allow free texting through messaging apps like WhatsApp. According to the reference, if your airline allows free texting through a text messaging app like WeChat or WhatsApp, make sure you've downloaded that app to your phone before taking off.
- This is because you might have to pay for Wi-Fi to download the app mid-flight.
-
Airplane Mode: Remember to enable airplane mode on your device during the flight and then connect to the available Wi-Fi if you wish to use WhatsApp.
