WhatsApp uses your phone's Internet connection to send messages so you can avoid fees. It can also be used on your computer. With voice calls, you can talk or video with friends and family for free, even if they're in another country. One things I've learned when travelling internationally is that everyone expects you to have WhatsApp.
