WPCC on WhatsApp

How does WPCC use WhatsApp?

The “Washington Park Camera Club” Community has been established to facilitate communication among current members on the social media platform. This platform serves as a collaborative space for sharing knowledge, seeking assistance, and disseminating timely announcements. Participation is voluntary, and members are free to disengage from the WhatsApp communities, including the group and mute them at their convenience.

What is WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is a free, cross-platform messaging app that allows users to: 

  • Send unlimited text messages, photos, videos, and documents 
  • Make voice and video calls
  • Participate in communities and group conversations 
  • Use end-to-end encryption to ensure that only the sender and recipient can read or listen to a message or call 

WhatsApp is available on phones, Mac, and Windows PC. It uses a Wi-Fi connection to communicate, so you don’t need to worry about using up your text or call allowances.However, you may be charged extra if you go over your data allowance.

  • WPCC Members’ Meetups & Photo Ops: Discuss, collaborate, and/or coordinate meetups and photo opportunities.
