When The Book Of Face decided to add messenger calling and one ting dialled me after minimal chat via inbox I deleted my account. 

 

Not deactivate.

 

DELETE.

 

F**k that. Social media making access and the most sacred of things exposed. Like putting in everyone's Instagram activities tab when you've liked a picture or written a comment. 

 

Instagram had to get deleted too.

[O Fenomeno]

Nothing wrong with that

[Mame Biram Diouf]

If you like pics on a private account it doesn't show up in the activity feed of other people unless they follow the person too.

[slice2]

Yeah if in a relationship social media can easily fuck your shit up if you are trying to play away. Everyone knows everyone. Best just stay loyal or stay off social media. Too much temptation for some to resist tho.

[time_bomb]

yh but people aint on viber like whatsapp

 

It's like when apple went from iPods to iPhones

 

people in other countries seem to be big on viber, i think cos of the call feature

[slice2]

Is it in UK

[Niall Ferguson]

 

They've instantly wiped out the need for international sim cards in one fell swoop.

Genius.

Didn't Skype do that already?

 

 

No

 

The mobile usage of whatsapp far outweighs the mobile usage of Skype. Do you understand the concept of market share?

[Supermalt]

Cant be on social heavy and be on the deev squad.

[Simply D]

Hmmm I wonder what the mobile data amount would be needed for this if you was out n about...no issue if u was on wifi obviously.

As someone has said though, they have just pissed all over the international calling card industry. I swear you have to pay for Skype calls??

That doesn't matter, Skype has done this for years before and that's why people use it.

Yes more people have whatsapp on their phones, but of those people who are using it to call overseas.

Now compare that to the number of people that use Skype to call oversea.

Number of monthly active WhatsApp users worldwide from April 2013 to January 2015 (in millions)

This statistic shows a timeline with the amount of monthly active WhatsApp users worldwide as of January 2015. As of that month, the mobile messaging app announced more than 700 million monthly active users, up from over 400 million in December 2013. The service is one of the most popular mobile apps worldwide.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a cross-platform instant messaging service for smartphones that relies on the internet for the transmission of messages. Based on a low-cost subscription model, WhatsApp is a cheap alternative to carrier-billed text messaging via SMS, especially for international or group messaging. The mobile messaging app enables users to share text, image and video messages – the service handles more than 600 million photo and 64 billion overall messages every day. In the United States, the daily engagement rate among Android WhatsApp users was 36 percent.

WhatsApp is especially popular in markets outside the United States while facing strong competition from Asia-based social messenger apps such as WeChat, LINE or Kakaotalk. WhatsApp’s popularity in emerging mobile markets is not only based on their low-cost business model but on many of its features.

In February 2014, social network Facebook acquired WhatsApp for 19 billion U.S. dollars.

It’s no surprise that AIM and Yahoo Messenger are collapsing, with unique visitor counts declining by about 30-40% year on year, according to comScore. But it is fascinating that Skype (-12%) and Google Talk (-15%) are now losing ground now. There is no doubt that Facebook’s messaging system is one major factor in the desktop messaging decline. Yet it’s hard to avoid the notion that the rapidly multiplying messaging apps on smartphones are the biggest headache for Skype right now.

Onavo’s engagement data also shows Skype stalling when smartphone usage is measured. The share of iPhone users actively engaging with the Skype app slid from 16.7% to 16.5% in five months. In contrast, the WhatsApp engagement moved up from 7.6% to 8.9% over the same time frame. Viber inched up from 4.6% to 5.2% and Kik jumped from 3.7% to 4.7%. This shows that consumers are willing to go beyond Apple’s own messaging system in order to gain access to cross-platform messaging on iPhone. They just don’t see Skype as a very compelling option right now.

So I guess the next step is to introduce a call plan for calling non-Whatsapp users.

 

Still not seeing that $16billion valuation though.

[O Fenomeno]

Whatsapp and Instagram are the only things I need
