If you are completely over with WhatsApp and you still need to chat for free, we have a list of apps that can make you fill the void that will be left by this very popular instant messaging application.
If you are looking for a WhatsApp alternative that will serve you with the best as far as instant messaging is concerned, then you are in the right place. We have compiled a list of best 5 apps that you can use as WhatsApp alternatives on your Android smartphone.
Telegram
Since Telegram first came into being, it has steadily been gaining rare positive reviews. When Facebook bought WhatsApp, many users started flocking into the Telegram world and this can be attributed to the fact that Telegram has a better approach to security and privacy matters of users than WhatsApp. Despite the fact that WhatsApp recently introduced end-to-end encryption, it does not mean it has succeeded in its online security and privacy matters. However, if you are looking for a super safe application that is also superfast in executing commands, Telegram is your app.
Telegram will also let you participate in a group of up to 200 people, which is twice the 100 group limit offered on WhatsApp, offers cloud storage, secret chats, as well as let you send any file.
Skype
Skype is the king of online communication and it’s still the best IM in the eyes of many. Skype offers no worries about when the free voice and video calling features will be available since they have been there since its inception. Skype is still a favorite among the Android users, thanks to its great capabilities as far as file sharing, free calls and affordable non-Skype calls are concerned. However, this app has received little appreciation following the advent of dozens of other apps that offer similar services as it does.
You can get a little sentimental and go back to this app and for sure, you won’t be disappointed as far as your messaging needs are concerned.
Line
Line is a very popular app when talking about VoIP services. Even though it lacks in numbers, Line is equipped with some of the best features when matters of free instant messaging, voice and video calls are on the table. Furthermore, users of Line have access to additional features with cooler aspects like the ability to follow online celebrity accounts, just like you do with Facebook or Twitter and play games while chatting with friends. The sign up process is also very simple as it only requires your phone number to create an account.
Hangouts
Hangouts came into being sometimes last year and in essence, this application came in to take the place of GTalk. Using Google Hangouts, users can make free calls, send messages as well as share multimedia files.
Google Hangouts comes with a Dialer which lets you key in a phone number that you can call. It is very easy to say that Hangouts is the best Android messenger app there is today; but since it’s new, there are other improvements and enhancements that are expected to be added to this app, which will even make it a much better app than it is today.
Viber
Viber is a very popular application that has more than 460 million users across the globe. Using Viber, you can make free calls – both voice and video – as well as send free instant messages to other users of the app. Unlike WhatsApp, this application comes with dedicated versions for using on PCs, tablets and mobile phones. This means that you can have all your conversations on any of these devices as well as respond to them from any of the aforementioned devices.
Viber will also let you follow celebrity accounts, use stickers in chats as well as make affordable calls to non-users of the app using the ViberOut feature.
