Why is LINE better than WhatsApp?
With the fame of WhatsApp other applications have also arrived willing to gain a foothold in the market of communication tools Samsung tries with its ChatOn, others like Spotbros bet on collaboration in addition to the communication However, it has been LINE the last to become known in our country.An application that is attracting attention among users of all current mobile platforms and that is presented as a strong alternative to WhatsAppBut why? We try to explain it to you below.
For those who still do not know LINE, it must be said that it is a very complete tool of communication that follows the structure of WhatApp Thus, it allows us to be in contact at any time and location thanks to free instant messaging via InternetIn addition, it allows share videos, images, audio tracks, our current location or business cards with information about a contact from the phonebook. It also has the possibility of making free calls over the Internet, as Viber However, there are still some how many passwords plus that leave behind WhatsApp
The one that stands out the most is security And we are not just referring to the fact that, as an application, it has more protection than WhatsApp, of which we have already known various problems ”“ that have already been solved ”“ such asinformation theft, the ability to change the status phrase, etc. But to characteristics like a simple question when receiving a message from a unknownThus, if someone has our phone number and speaks to us through LINE, a window appears asking us if we want to add or block that person, in case we don't know who they are. And the same in other issues of privacy about our postings on our wall or giving our account without the need to exchange the phone number (thanks to our reader Alfonso for the information).
And the fact is that LINE has an interesting section that WhatsApponly limited to status phrase This is the Timeline tab, which allows us to publish messages, long texts, images, etc A kind of wall, in the purest style Facebook, where we can inform our contacts of our last activity, concerns, or whatever we wantFor its part, WhatsApp has the possibility of transmitting a message in a group conversation of up to 30 people , although it is not the same concept.
Another issue that confronts these two tools are emoticons and stickers WhatsApp has opted for the Emoji, renewing its selection during the last year with a good number of new faces and iconsFor its part, LINE offers Japanese-style stickers that have great expressiveness, in addition to the classic icons A matter that, in addition, can be renewed with new packs that the user can buy Which in turn makes us see the different business model of these two tools.
Last but not least, LINE has a version for computers , which further expands its possibilities and reach A weak spot for WhatsApp , which is only available for smartphones, although there are some tools to use it on computers unofficially and uncomfortable
However, with WhatsApp we have learned that not always the good, or the best , they have to be the most widely used and extended. What do you think? Already using LINE? Do you think it is better than WhatsApp?
