The rise of social media is apparent, and WhatsApp is a free app that most people already have on their phone. You might aske how does the app work. Whatsapp is a simple combination of all social medias that can replace all social media. It is that simple!
It contains features like Facebook that allow you to add friends, features like MSN that allow you to chat and send silly emoji, features like Instagram that allow you to share pictures or videos with friends, and lastly the App is bind with your phone number and it can also function as a cell phone.
The application grow in popularity quickly that even my parents started to use Wechat.(Chinese duplicate of Whatsapp) They enjoy the simple control and effective ways of communications the app provide. It is very surprising that there are still room for innovations in the social media industry that is already very competitive. Whatsapp is one of the disruptive innovation and the growth of the company is immense in just five years. The chinese company, Tencent produced the similar product Wechat that is wildly used by most people in China, Hong Kong or Taiwan, and the application is likely to expand abroad to the larger market.
The social media industry is very competitive Whatsapp is one of the most successful application and we can anticipate further development of the company.
