Instant Messaging Apps..

Instant messaging apps are a huge hit among the youth worldwide. The craze of unlimited instant messaging was initiated by Blackberry as they introduced Blackberry messenger popularly known as BBM for their customers which provided them ability to send unlimited messages anytime to their Blackberry contacts for free. After them , many competitive applications came in existence for various smartphones and one of the most widely used app among them is Whatsapp. 

Almost every smartphone user whether user of Android , iOS , Symbian or Windows phone they are having whatsapp in their phones. Undoubtedly Whatsapp is a cool app which is capable of sending images, video, and audio media messages instead of sending simple plain messaging text but it is human nature that we get bored of doing same thing after sometime. Maybe today most of our friends are present on Whatsapp but no one can guess how long they will like using it. Even many of the people has already started switching to some other apps for their own reasons. So here I am providing you 5 Most Trending Alternatives For Whatsapp.

1. WeChat

WeChat is one of the best used alternatives for Whatsapp. It is an application designed by Chinese Developers which have almost every feature similar to Whatsapp like sending images, video, and audio media messagesbut it has one great feature that whatsapp doesn't have so far i.e. Facility of chat rooms.

Unlike users of Whatsapp who can chat to only those people present in their contacts list , in WeChat you get a chat room where you can start chatting to people other than your contacts.

2.Line

Line is an awesome app because it is not just an instant messenger but it also provides their user the facility of instant messaging , multimedia files sharing and most importantly doing voice calls for unlimited time & free of cost. Apart from voice calling , it is also very popularly known for their huge collection of Stickers in it. You get hundreds of stickers inbuilt in this app by using which you can express your mood and emotions in much better way.

3.Hike

As similar to whatsapp , Hike can send and receive instant messages but the best part of this app is that it can be installed on two mobile phones with same number unlike whatsapp. Other good feature is that it provides facility to send free sms service so that if you want to talk to some person who is not a user of hike , you can still have a conversation with them. It has funky emoticons and stickers which makes messaging real fun. In the recent update it also has a brought a walkie talkie feature where user can send a voice message.

4.Google+ Hangouts

On fourth rank in our list is Google Hangout. This is an app from Google inc. It is rated on rank four just because it is less fun but more efficient using it. Gtalk is now replaced by Google Hangout. I would recommend you to definitely install this great app in your phone because it will automatically sync your gmail contacts to your hangout and you will be able to identify your friends with Gmail ID here.Officially this application is available for Chrome, Android and iOS free of cost.

5.Facebook Messenger

Last but definitely not the least , Facebook messenger is also there as a competitor for whatsapp. People may or may not be there on whatsapp because not everyone owns a smartphone but almost everyone is having an account on Facebook. So simply this is the best way to stay connected to them all the time. Although Facebook community is a huge network and they have much more people than whatsapp , still users dont consider it as an alternative for whatsapp. It is maybe because Facebook messenger has another use case with stickers and desktop sync but it has no mobile number user ID which clearly makes WhatsApp a winner.
