I’ve been using Hike Messenger for the past 2 years and have clearly found that it is better than any other messenger. Messengers like WhatsApp limit our privacy capability of selecting different contacts for showing status and the display picture. Hike has different privacy setting and has a favourites option to filter the display picture and status access. Considering emoticons, and stickers Hike has a very large database of stickers which are considerably more better at expressing than normal emoticons. And the free sms service all over india is the icing on the cake. Also the new updated hike contains, daily quotes, news, sports, Natasha( Virtual Assistant) , coupons etc.
