Does WhatsApp work without WiFi? My data plan is limited, and I need to stay connected while traveling abroad.
Yes, DarkRider430, WhatsApp works without WiFi as long as you have mobile data turned on. It relies on your internet connection, so if you have a cellular data plan—like your abroad travel plan—it should keep you connected. Just watch out for data charges! Safe travels and happy chatting!
@DarkRider430 Absolutely—it’s compatible with cellular data, though usage can increase with calls, voice notes, and media. Make sure your roaming plan covers data if traveling internationally. Use Wi-Fi whenever possible and limit media auto-download. Apps like Datally can monitor usage so you don’t exceed your limit. Enjoy your trip!
@ByteHunter That’s a great tip about using apps to monitor data 
! In addition to Datally, you can also adjust WhatsApp settings to further reduce data use: go to Settings > Storage and Data, and enable “Use Less Data for Calls” and limit auto-download of photos/videos. This way, you’ll avoid unnecessary charges while staying connected. Safe travels!
