From now on we will have to measure our words very well when we talk about WhatsApp as the world's largest and most widely used messaging application. And it is thathis reign has come to an endAt least in terms of absolute data. The fault of this is QQ, an Asian messaging tool that claims to have exceeded the number of active users of WhatsAppSomething that no other can affirm, demonstrating the potential of this tool, although with nuances that should be explained.
It is a very complete application. And it is that QQ has all the current functions seen in the communications market: free messaging, group chats, sending images and video, free calls, paid calls to landlines around the world, video calls, exchange all kinds of files and even handpaintings of the user. Issues that satisfy any communicative need of current users and that is the engine of this tool in China, where it comes from.
The curious thing is that, despite its little internationalization beyond the Asian market, QQ claims to already have more than829 million monthly active users A figure that exceeds the 800 million that WhatsApp has managed to achieve in these years of lifeA more or less notable difference that could be more when taking into account the date of publication of the respective numbers, of January and April For what could be about how many more millions of difference.
Apparently, after several legal problems surrounding its name, from 2009 it began to expand beyond Chinese borders. Therefore, it is not a newly created tool, having a tradition and having developed remarkably, and emerging from the computer platform. But only since 2013 it is a mobile application, being developed solely for the Android platform as for iOS Something that further appreciates its number of active users and its expansion.
Now it looks like it's looking at Western markets where, of course, it already has a foothold with its user base.However, WhatsApp continues to stand up. And it is that, after becoming the most widespread application in countries like Spain, and after the attempts of other tools, it seems difficult for users to end up changing their minds after the arrival of QQ. Despite all its possibilities. Others like Telegram, which focuses on security, or LINE with its calls,stickers and completely free, they already tried it without success, managing to be a second way of communication for when WhatsAppfailure. Something that, moreover, is less and less frequent.
Of course we will have to look closely at QQ, even more so if it continues to grow in this way. And it is that its possibilities are more than remarkable, even introducing a translator to enable all kinds of communication. A very powerful tool that has been the first to unseat WhatsApp in number of active users, its greatest point in the face of increasingly aggressive competition and better functions, although it does not finish convincing users to change the application.QQ can be downloaded free from Google Play and App Store
