Abstract

There are many free instant messengers available now which allow people to communicate with friends with texts, phone calls, videos, by sharing files, in group or not, and to maintain contact with them even internationally. But only very few of instant messengers have gained popularity and recognition. Recent studies have shown that the most popular instant messengers are WhatsApp, Viber and Telegram. Facebook acquired WhatsApp due to its huge number of users. Viber is another messenger with many integrated features that allow for phone calls and send text messages for free, and like WhatsApp there is no subscription, while Telegram offers users a completely free open-source platform without any ads, a clean interface, and (the biggest selling point) security. So, which instant messenger is best? Currently Telegram is the most downloaded messaging apps in the Google Play Store. But at the moment WhatsApp is still the winner!.
