This is WhatsApp in the world ranking of the most used apps
Despite the fact that smartphones have been designed to be able to do almost anything, no user loses sight of their main function: the communication And it is that browsing the Internet, playing games or even working are very common and exploited possibilities. But it's still the messaging and the social media who take the cake across the entire application class.Among them stands out, without any doubt, the classic and at the same time hegemonic WhatsApp Queen of applications messaging, but without being the only option. In fact, there are many applications that are hot on its heels and that are almost as used or more than this one. Do you know which ones they are?
According to a trend study presented by KPCB, a well-known venture capital firm from Sillicon Valley (California), application WhatsApp is not the most widely used globally. The social network Facebook beats it in this aspect, which remains in the lead as the option most used by users around the world. Something quite logical considering its older age and the possibilities it offers in addition to messaging and publications: business pages, groups, games”¦ Also,Facebook has strived to reach all users, including those in emerging markets, for whom it has developed a lighter app ( Facebook Lite) and lower data consumption.
Therefore, WhatsApp remains in a second level if the level of use at a global level is taken into account. Something that it achieves with its more than 800 million users throughout the planet. Of course, it is the first application in the field of messaging, followed by Facebook Messenger, which already brings together 600 million active users An application that has evolved to platform by allowing the use of other applications and added inside , seeking to maximize the communication possibilities of users. Of course, we must not forget that Facebook forced its users to use this application if they wanted to send direct messages through the social network Main reason for stepping on so closely heels to WhatsApp
The following positions in the ranking are occupied by the photography social network Instagram and the messaging application LINE The first, which also belongs to Facebook, already has a lot of tradition in this smartphones, being the first photography social network to become known, and with powerful support from both users and the brands that use it to promote themselves. For its part, LINE follows the slipstream of the main messaging tools. And it is that its 205 million active users do not allow it to climb further in this ranking, despite having always been postulated as the great alternative to WhatsApp Something that makes more sense in Asia, where its presence is the majority and where it operates beyond messaging, including payments, international calls, games, and a host of other tools added to your service and within your brand.
With all this it is a little clearer how is the current situation of the main applications used in mobile phones at global level A clear commitment to socialization, communication and, above all, messaging. And it is already integrated into our daily lives, especially thanks to applications such as WhatsApp
