Being platform agnostic, it can be used on any device or operating system. Unlike most messaging apps, you can go beyond simple conversations. WhatsApp has integrated maps, which lets you share location with friends and family.
You can also share files and contacts right in the conversation window. These are loads of customization options. You can set customized notification alerts, wallpapers, and even broadcast your status. You can even use the camera to shoot videos and photos from within the app. It also notifies you when a recipient has viewed the text.
You can even create groups of friends and family members to communicate with up to people in a single window. WhatsApp lets you share Instagram-like stories, which stay visible for 24 hours. The search function makes browsing through conversations a lot easier.
You can search by contact name, keyword, phone number, or group. In fact, you can also search for keywords in a specific conversation window. Having said that, WhatsApp still comes with several features that hold immense importance. In fact, the security features on the app have encouraged Facebook to turn WhatsApp into a full-fledged payment system, which lets you send or receive money within the app.
Using end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp secures all messages passing through the platform. Currently, no other messaging app in the market integrates with the fingerprint sensor for additional security. It works with standard Windows or Mac browsers, but comes with limited features. The good news is that anything you do on the desktop version will sync with the app on your smartphone.
Like WhatsApp, Viber uses contact numbers to identify registered users. Using Viber, you can make free calls, send messages, videos, and images.
While WhatsApp has started giving the option to use stickers, Viber has been doing it for some time. You can choose from a wide range of funny stickers for chats. While Skype has always been popular for video calls, the updated design allows you to send files, images, and messages too.
Unlike WhatsApp, all of its features are available on both mobile and desktop versions. One drawback of using Skype instead of WhatsApp is the fact that spammers can send messages, and you can only block them once they do.
Based on Cloud technology, Telegram lets you send messages faster than WhatsApp. With end-to-end encryption, you can be certain that your conversations are secure. Without a doubt, WhatsApp Messenger is a remarkable messaging app. What a disappointment this app fell short! Many feel the same! I can go on and on. If you say you will improve, then do as you promise!
Thanks for the review. Open the WhatsApp chat containing the message you want to delete. What was once a wonderful secure platform is fast becoming a laughingstock ever since it was touched by Facebook.
So thoroughly disappointed. Apparently, In the UK, WhatsApp was given customers until the first week of February before they close an account if the customer refused to except terms to the detriment of customer privacy. Now there is a delay to this change? Could it be that this delay is to collect our information anyway without a permission, anyway? I have now started looking for a replacement to WhatsApp. To be honest, if I could opt for zero stars that would be the level at this point.
