WhatsApp Features
WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging application, and there are some excellent reasons for that. First, WhatsApp is entirely free to use as long as you have unlimited data plan or use WiFi connection to send messages and call your friends with WhatsApp. Secondly, WhatsApp is more than a messenger application, as it’s also allowing users to share files with their contacts.
Besides, WhatsApp permits group chats, and it also comes with a web-based version that you can use on desktop PCs. Nonetheless, you don’t need to sign up on WhatsApp as you do on Facebook or Twitter for example. All you have to do is to enter your phone number, verify it within the app via SMS or voice call, and that’s all.
