Hike messenger is good because it offers features like sending free SMS to non hike users, also I can send any kind of file using Hike, it offers stickers too but thats not unique. A lot of apps now offer stickers but many of Hike’s stickers are made especially for Indians. The collection of stickers is great.
But the app is slower in terms of sending messages compared to Whatsapp. I also don’t find many of my friends here so it is not something I use as a default IM service. I use for the times when I need to express myself with stickers and when I have to text someone who is offline at that moment. I also use it for gi9ving status updates. The timeline feature is something I like.
