What you need in a messaging app is there in Whatsapp.
My first experience of using WhatsApp was with my Nokia E63 phone my antiques phone ever. I used to dowload .sys files to update or to install. It was free for aome 1 year at that time and I used WhatsApp for a year in that phone and got promoted to have one more year as free membership, I was happy.
WhatsApp has changed the way of mesaaging, nowadays messaging is more than just texts. Earlier we have to type mesaages where one mesaage has some limit of 200 character then second message is counted. If you haven’t had any SMS pack then your balance was going to be deducted 1 or 1.5 ruppes.
WhatsApp has removed all those boundaries -
Write and send infinite mesaages at no cost.
Share existing or capture and share images.
Share documents.
Share Video
Share Audio
Send voice messages
End to End Security
Last Seen
Sent, Dekivered and Read messages Status
Group and Broadcast list.
Video call and voice call.
It’s been a great journey of WhatsApp I have witnessed all of them.
Still need some additions like -
Schedule messages.
Messenger and WhatsApp collaboration
Chat heads like messenger
Private messages
Hide chat or secret chating space
These could be the ideas that new apps could include to look different though I want it in WhatApp.
