Your favourite messaging app

I, on a daily basis use Telegram for chats but I wonder what you people use.

Whatsapp? SMS? Imessage (R.I.P Android)

I’m using WhatsApp. I know there’s been a big huha about WhatsApp at the beginning of the year, due to its link with FaceBook and issue about privacy and that quite a number of WhatsApp holders moved to Telegram. But in the community that I live in, WhatsApp has been a way of life for many years. It’s the way we conduct business and communicate with our family and friends.

As a rule I don’t keep any personal info in WhatsApp, and I’m always careful what I say whether e-mail or any place on the Internet. But I’ve used WhatsApp for three years now, and have nothing to fault it with. It works very very well.

I also use Telegram, but unfortunately there are many people that prefer using and stuck to whatsapp and take a lot of time to do the switch…

I feel that with time more and more people are on telegram so this trend is to continue and hope to be able to uninstall whatsapp someday.

I am using both WhatsApp (for personal use) and WhatsApp for Business (for professional use). For me its not possible right now to switch completely to Telegram because all my friends and clients are on WhatsApp..

What is the main difference between the business whatsapp and the personal one?

Since I use at work as well but the personal one has everything needed.

You have more tools @binil on the business one?

I also was unaware there’s a whatsapp for business, and just as curious to hear what the differences are.

I checked and there’s really very little info – I found this page on it:
https://www.whatsapp.com/business/

I guess maybe one has more options for advertising – so who knows, all those whatsapp accounts that look so much more flashy than the others, perhaps they have business owner accounts?

@binil is the business whatsapp account for free?

[kreesher]

@genesis It is for free.

I tested and is a good call if you want to have 2 different phone numbers for example. Since whatsapp don’t let you have multiple accounts and switch on them.

By installing whatsapp and whatsapp business you can configure 2 separate numbers and can be handy like @binil said – a number for your personal contacts and another for the company

[binil]

WhatsApp for business is free – it has some automated messaging options which are enabled by default (which can also be set in normal WhatsApp) and some other features to showcase your products.

Like I said earlier most of us are forced to use WhatsApp since its in almost all phones.

signal?

@littlething Problem with Signal is that literally no one uses it. You will find overall people on Whatsapp or Telegram
