WhatsApp soon after its year of inception has come under the ownership of Facebook that has increased the popularity and worth of WhatsApp in the market. With all its limitation, WhatsApp also do have some advantages that make the WhatsApp most popular Instant Messaging Platform. WhatsApp first of its kind When WhatsApp was launched in the market in the year 2009, ever since then the app has been first of its kind. Way back then WhatsApp was famous for messages and it was not a VoIP, as a messaging app it was widely accepted by the users. It came in the market with a new communication model, and came among the first. WhatsApp overpowered SMS Sending SMS was an expensive affair, but when WhatsApp was introduced many issues were resolved like messages could be send without counting words, without being deprived of multimedia content, and without being restricted to the number of contacts.
WhatsApp used for messaging WhatsApp was launched only for texting purpose not for calling purpose. Hence, it was welcomed and accepted conveniently by the users. The use of WhatsApp in Smartphone has now become much convenient and extensively WhatsApp saves your contact number WhatsApp easily identifies the users on the network, it is most accessible and easy to locate. It only identifies people though their phone numbers if the user’s phone number is saved in your devices, you can easily connect to the people. The App was the easiest platform for texting anyone having your number has you on the network, and you cannot choose to be offline. Your identity cannot be hidden and it has tremendously contributed to its popularity.
Cross Platform functionality WhatsApp runs seamlessly across all the popular platforms ranging from Android and iOS. Number of Users increasing The numbers of users in WhatsApp is increasing, making this platform the most important platform for chatting. Just like other VoIP apps, communication between people is easy and is free. Since the app is the most widely used app finding people and communicating with them is really easy. First introduced multiple features When WhatsApp was first launched in the year 2009, the features were new and were widely accepted by people. There were multiple features like group chat and the ability to send pictures and other multimedia elements along with messages. Features like the free calling feature and video calling are recently added which is making the platform more popular among the people. Great advantage for mobile users Mobile WhatsApp is developed for mobile users only, but do not adapt the PC native environments. As it has the functionality to run across all possible platforms, it could perfectly blend with the scenario when the digital media was shifting from the computer to tablet PC and smartphones.

The Advantages of Using WhatsApp The service is absolutely free and no charges will be applied. You can freely send messages from one place to another. The features provided by WhatsApp are very easy to use. There are no advertisements on display screen. Contacts can be automatically imported to contacts from your phone and will let you know how many people are connected to WhatsApp. It is easy to share your location, photos, status with your friends. Video calls are now for free over WhatsApp. The Disadvantages of Using Whatsapp The use of WhatsApp is limited to Smartphone users. You should be connected to internet to continue using WhatsApp. The visibility of profile pic is all the users those who are connected to you and using WhatsApp.
The rules that you should follow, when connected to WhatsApp Avoid discussing religious and cultural discussion that might hurt sentiments of others. You definitely have friends from almost all the religion, so bringing in all social matters to the forefront that possible could harm the sentiments of others. Break the unnecessary spam chains or forwarded messages. These forwarded messages are certainly not meaningful and is used for just a mere entertainment purpose. If you read the message, make it sure that you at least reply for courtesy sake. Don’t be impatient if the photos or videos could not be shared because of poor WiFi connectivity. If you do not get immediate response to your message do not be impatient as the person to whom you had sent message might not be in a position to send you messages. It is a good practice to use emoticons, but excessive use of emoji can prove to be meaningless sometimes. There are at times when you do not have appropriate words to describe your thoughts and feeling and emoji makes your job easy, but sending emoji almost every message might convey your disinterest to converse with the person. Conversing through WhatsApp is very easy when you are being able to articulate appropriately with your friends and co-acquaintances. When on conversation do not come across being vague with them. Your words and approach needs to be clear to all.
As recorded in Hindustan Times, the government framed a policy to protect the data imprints on WhatsApp, Facebook and other similar kind of applications. The circular was as received from Supreme Court. The report further reveals that a petition was filed and supported by Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi in the top court questioning the privacy policy of WhatsApp that allows the social media platform to share the data commercially left behind by its users. He said the comprehensive data protection framework would ban sharing of data by service providers or app owners. The stand was further challenged by two students at Delhi high court that WhatsApp privacy policy, which changed after Facebook took over the popular messaging service, did not violate the fundamental rights of a user by sharing confidential data. It was further added that Telecom Regulatory Authority of India was in the process of evolving the data protection framework. It was also confirmed by the center and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on the plea that privacy of over 157 million Indians has been infringed by social networking sites – WhatsApp and Facebook -for alleged commercial use of personal communication. The final verdict at High court has directed WhatsApp to delete the information of those who had opted out of the service before September 25, 2016 and not to share them with social networking site Facebook or its group companies. The privacy and confidentiality of the information were appealed to be protected and hence end-to-end encryption method was introduced. It was also argued that whether service providers, particularly monopolies and quasi monopolies, who operate services incidental and ancillary to telecommunications are responsible to protect and preserve the privacy of the users.
