Best messaging app is the one that has most users and is free to use. Sadly the truth is so simple, that's why everyone in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America use WhatsApp.
Not in East Asia. Japan is all about LINE, South Korea uses KakaoTalk, and China uses WeChat.
Am in Europe and have never used Whatsapp. In fact, the only guy I know who does started using it because the company he was with at the time had a lot of business in Shanghai where they DO use it a lot.
Its ubiquitous here in Spain, too.
in belgium it's probably the most popular messaging app.
I hate this fact about Whatsapp (Asia same story, different clients).
Messaging app that needs to have a lot of users in order to be usable is shit.
No ability to send a message to user of other app should be the biggest disadvantage.
