The Physical Distancing and Social Distancing Policy is an action in which everyone is asked not to be close to one another and to avoid gatherings and gatherings in all forms to prevent the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 has not seen anyone spread, including elementary, junior high, high school and college students. Therefore, all school and college activities such as teaching and learning activities (KBM) must be carried out at home or online through distance learning to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This study aims to determine the use of the WhatsApp application as an online learning medium during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used in this study is a research and development method (Research and Development) with a qualitative approach, aiming to produce a product in the form of problem-based learning media and test the usability of the product. The results of this study are that the application of using the WhatsApp application as a learning medium during the Covid-19 pandemic is very appropriate and in line with the Minister of Education and Culture Circular Letter Number 12. Number 3 of 2020 concerning Implementation of Online Learning. Use it because this application is simpler compared to other online applications. In addition, the WhatsApp application is easy to operate and has many features. The implementation of online learning at SDN Ciater 1 using the WhatsApp application as a learning tool is not good because of various perceived obstacles.
