WhatsApp and LINE face to face again

We are talking about the hegemonic WhatsApp and the colorful LINE, who seem to keep sticking out their chests own achievements. Issues that comparatively continue to mark the notable differences between the two, but that show the evolution and the pull that the messaging genre is experiencing in themarket smartphones
Starting with WhatsApp, it must be said that it has been surpassed once again. Through a message or tweet on the social network Twitter has announced that it has broken its record in terms of messages sent and received in a day Thus, it has managed to reach the dizzying figure of 64 billion messages in just 24 hours A number that breaks down into 20 billion messages sent and 44 billion messages received As always, the difference between one and the other lies in the conversations or group chats where the same message sent is received by a greater number of contacts.
This figure far exceeds the 54 billion of messages that were transmitted on the day of New Year's Eve Even more considering that only four months have passed. Although, the latest events around the history of this application have managed to draw more attention to WhatsApp if possible. And it is that both your purchase by Facebook and the new and long-awaited privacy measures have kept their number of users increasing despite unfounded fears about information theft and ongoing privacy issues you are dealing with. A figure that already exceeds 465 million active users worldwide.
For its part, LINE has also made it known today that they have reached the figure of 400 million registered users A number that does not specify how many real active users use it throughout a month (beyond downloading the app), but that undoubtedly marks the growing evolution of this application, which celebrated 300 million of users last November.
A figure that is far from the real users of WhatsApp, as well as its record of messages sent in the same day, In the case of LINE remains in the 10 billion However, the success of this app is palpable. And it is that despite not achieving first place in the messaging applications market, it has managed to position itself and achieve a business system. Proof of this is that through its store of stickers and extra content (both the main application and its games), has managed to turn over 338 million dollars during the past 2013 An application that continues to grow and expand its business constantly with new games, applications with extra content such as LINE Deco or a call service to anywhere in the world: LINE Call
In short, figures that show the good he alth of both messaging services, although they highlight the current situation of each one, where WhatsApp It continues to be the most widespread and used, although LINE continues to make its way in different countries and trying to maintain a stable and profitable line of business.
