This seem so quality and easier for user like us. and for my perspective compare to other app, the smooths of video calling is much better in whatsapp. Pros its easy to communicate around the people, and the most i figure out its about the frequent update where some new feature are added which let user like us feel to used it, for example emoji and GIF sticker, and plus point we can used as a business whatsapp user too which allowed business man easier to catch up the customer. Cons Sometimes, WhatsApp doesn't give enough privacy. For example, people can see when you're online or if you’ve read their messages, which can feel a bit too much. Also, it doesn’t have strong tools for organizing chats, so it can get messy if you have many messages. Another thing is that it needs your phone number to use it, which not everyone is comfortable sharing. Review Source VC Vicente C.
