WhatsApp is possibly the most reliable app for messages and calls used these days in Cuba.
It allows us to make free and secure video calls to the contacts on our phone that have also WhatsApp.

It is a very personalized and fun app since it has a great collection of stickers which give more visual interaction to our talks.
Nevertheless, it is also one of the highest-data-consuming platforms; although its creators launched a simplified version in its last update on January 9th, 2019, this is still one of the disadvantages to its use in Cuba.
Although it consumes a lot of data, most Cuban users use Facebook habitually, and the same goes for its video calls and messaging app. Access it here.
Skype is an app Microsoft created in 2003 that allows users to make free video calls, audio calls and text messages to other users who also use it.

Nevertheless, its great peak lasted until December 2018, just before its last update, when thousands of Cubans noticed they couldn’t communicate with American numbers.
