WhatsApp handles basic messaging but adds enhancements like improved photo support, stickers, and sent and read receipts. WhatsApp is increasingly popular in the US because it is easy to use and has reliable features. People outside of the United States are flocking to WhatsApp, which has become one of the most popular messaging platforms for hundreds of millions of users around the world. In the United States, Apple fans rely on iMessage to handle the majority of their conversations, while Android users probably use Facebook Messenger, Google Allo, or other chat applications on social media platforms.
