Instant messaging on Android directly means WhatsApp Messenger. Send messages, share videos and images and make calls for free from the same app.
Hardly any invention ends up making a big difference in our daily life. But one of them is definitely WhatsApp. Thanks to the quintessential instant messaging app, we are connected to our friends and family 24 hours a day from our smartphones and we have already forgotten about obsolete SMS and MMS.
But the functionalities of this multiplatform application (there are versions for PC and web, and we can even synchronize it with our tablet or our iPad) go beyond the exchange of messages, although this is its primary vocation. By downloading and installing its APK on our Android phone, we can access a whole communication ecosystem that covers both messages and calls, as well as audio, video, and image file sharing.
A template for Telegram and Google Allo.
And the most important thing is that it is really easy to use since it only takes a phone number to identify yourself, and very secure, because one of the last updates of this service, Which now belongs to Facebook, has led to the implementation of end-to-end end encryption for all our communications. And don't forget ... it's completely free.
