WhatsApp (WA) is the last alternative learning media in COVID-19 period. This study aimed to see the extent of WA's integrity in supporting the learning process and outcomes. This quantitative research took data on 33 respondents and PAUD student guardians through questionnaires and multiple-choice questions by using random sampling technique. The resulting data in a simple regression test had significance coefficient of 0.05. The results of the data showed that 85% of student guardians were still less able to operate cell phones so they preferred WA. Furthermore, this study showed the integrity of WA in learning process at home which was capable and influential in improving student learning outcomes. The research implied that one's capability in using the media was different to others' and it was complicated for the teacher to equate the media or strategies in the classroom. Therefore, teacher must be more creative and innovative in using learning media. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
