You can see which of your contacts have whats app, that's it. No-one else, not friends of friends.

No-one else can see who you are chatting to, it's just like text messaging.

Unlike text messaging, you can see what time someone was last on whats app, so no ignoring messages haha

Very good sending photos, texting someone in your directory.

But viber for actually talking, to someone abroad.
