Facebook Messenger Vs. WhatsApp - Which Is Better?
Facebook's clear about their mobile strategy - the more is better. Facebook's announced updated Facebook Messenger that lets you chat without having a Facebook Account. The FB messenger system 'copies' the system that was made popular by WhatsApp messenger. The app will first scan your contact list and make a note of your own phone number. It will then upload all of it to a central server which will let you and others see who's using the app. The messaging between your contacts will be free and that will effectively reduce the SMS. Of course you will have to pay for the data that you use via your 4G, 3G, GPRS or EDGE service.
I just looked at the features FB messenger offers on Android mobile and don't think they've come up with something incredibly new that'd make people switch over from Whatsapp to their messaging service.
Earlier, there were rumours that Facebook was planning to acquire WhatsApp messaging service and integrate it into the FB ecosystem. But that isn't likely to happen anytime now. Looks like FB's going to compte in the markets with their own app that mimics whatsapp.
Which app do you think it better and will be the market leader in mobile to mobile messaging?
