One of the effects that we feel today is the implementation of online learning for students, from all levels throughout Indonesia. As educators, of course they must be able to adapt appropriately so that the learning process can still run optimally, even though learning is carried out with an online system, of course one of the things that must be prepared by an educator, in order to implement online learning is effectiveness and accuracy in selecting learning media by adjusting the condition of students. One of the media that can be used is Whattshap, because Whattshap has many features such as sending messages, sending pictures, videos, sounds, creating groups and others and is easy to operate. In this paper, we will try to describe how useful WA is in supporting student distance learning, the constraints faced and how the advantages / advantages are.
