LONDON: There are several apps that rank right up there, with WhatsApp, and they definitely deserve a mention. That being said, let’s see what apps you could use to chat with your loved ones if WhatsApp, for some reason, is not an option.
Facebook Messenger
Facebook is something the majority of people using the internet are connected to. There was a times when the Facebook application had Facebook Messenger built-in, but now it comes as a stand-alone app. Facebook Messenger is a great alternative for WhatsApp and it’s completely free of charge. All you need is an internet connection and you’re ready to chat.
This one is another great app that comes with its own set of perks. One of them is the group messaging options that let you have groups as large as 100 people, all sharing in a nice conversation. It also offers a lot of tools for expressing emotions, with animated stickers and what now available, for spicing up your conversation.
Viber
Starting out as a mobile application only, Viber has extended its business to PC and now offers a more diversified service pack. It is great for both texting and voice calling over the internet, both free with other Viber users, so if your friend has Viber too, you can chat all day free of charge.
Skype
Skype is pretty much the best you can get when it comes to video calling. The app has set the standard for this feature a long time ago, since it’s on the market for quite some time. In all the years Skype had at its disposal until this point, they managed to improve quite a bit, and now they can pride themselves in being one of the very best available.
