Over the years WhatsApp has taken over the messaging world like crazy and with its launch of the web application, it is only likely to grow further.
No other messaging app has changed the world more than WhatsApp. It has revolutionised the way we send messages to people all over the world. The best feature of this app is the fact that it is free.
It is one of those few apps which do not have any ad pop-ups. They are not only an eyesore, but also very irritating and not to mention a huge distraction. This is one thing which has been appreciated by the users of this messenger app. A messenger app is used only for messaging and not targeting the user as the product by placing ads.
WhatsApp the changing face of texting
There are a lot of people who are using WhatsApp as their primary messaging service. Perhaps because of this fact, Facebook bought WhatsApp. According to some statistics, around 450 million users use the app. More than 350 million people use the application daily. One of the greatest advantages of WhatsApp is that you can use it from anywhere in the world. All you need is a smartphone and an internet data pack. It is also a great app for sharing photographs, files, videos and audio clips. It also has a huge number of emoticons, which can be used. Even they have specific sections. However, many people feel that the WhatsApp lacks video calling (yet), but it is not a major setback, since it makes up for it by providing a large pool of emoticons and also it has a good interface when it comes to sharing files and photographs.
Another reason why WhatsApp is so popular because it can be used in a wide range of operating platforms such as Android, IOS, Blackberry, Windows and Symbian.
