The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of WhatsApp use and its evaluation in collaborative work among tenth-semester dentistry students at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener in Lima, 2020. A descriptive, quantitative, prospective, and cross-sectional study was conducted, with a sample of 58 students who completed a questionnaire consisting of 59 questions. Results showed that 95.7% of students frequently use WhatsApp. The median evaluation had the highest percentage (34.8%) regarding collaborative work. For the group work organization dimension, the median evaluation scored the highest with 37%, compared to low and high evaluations. In the communication system for group tasks dimension, the low evaluation had the highest percentage at 45.7%, surpassing the medium and high evaluations. Regarding the interpersonal relationships within the group, the low evaluation was predominant at 50%, compared to medium and high evaluations. Finally, in the limitations for group work dimension, the median evaluation showed the highest percentage (39.1%), compared to low and high evaluations. In conclusion, the vast majority of tenth-semester dentistry students at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener use WhatsApp daily, but this tool is not utilized as expected for collaborative work. Therefore, it is recommended to promote the importance of WhatsApp in students' collaborative work.
