Top Three Alternatives for WhatsApp Messenger | Best Alternatives for WhatsApp

Last Friday many of us were surprised with the withdrawal of WhatsApp from the iTunes Store, and use the verb surprise but the truth and truth is that with the history that had the application in terms of security breaches and has strict policy about Apple to its application store well thought strange thing is that it had not happened before.

Whatever are the reasons behind the removal of whatsApp messenger from the iTunes(Though the reasons will never come in public) it is the necessity and need of the iPhones users to find another messenging service. Hence i have looked up and brought the three most cool competitors that can bring competition to WhatsApp, and these can be a best alternative for WhatsApp. These are as follows.

Chaton: This is my second favorite on this list is strained by the hair and is just few days ago that it has launched its application for IOS, which has become the platform (also Android) and a very interesting alternative. This is the courier service itself Samsung allows you to send voice memos, video, photos, geolocation, contacts, and even we can draw little pictures on the screen. Interface has a clean, neat and customizable desktop client as well, this will become more powerful when they expand to more platforms. This app is also available for free.

GroupMe: It became very popular after its release and I was for a time that holds great promise to slow, badly designed interface and extra features that in most cases not used to anything I withdraw using it. Its big plus is a desktop client via browser, which already have installed a number of users and the possibility to send both pictures geolocation as easily. This app is also available for free.

Kik Messenger: A veteran and is also quite popular in some countries than WhatsApp, is fast, simple, compact and allows group chats. Lets you know if the other person read the message, if you are writing and this is available for IOS, Windows Phone, Android, Symbian and Blackberry, so we can communicate with virtually any smartphone user, recently renovated and improved interface completely facinating and awesome. Also highly recommended. This app is also available for free.

And as a final note to note that most of these apps give many turns in some respects to WhatsApp like having a desktop client, many times the importance of being the first and most widespread is stronger than the most powerful features.

WhatsApp for iPhone removed from Apple's App Store

WhatsApp has been removed from the App Store, The app had been removed from the itunes without any previous knowledge. The users were completely unknown about the fact that this app is being removed from the appstore. Surprisingly, the news we came to know yesterday via a tweet posted on the official account of the company:

The tweet posted on the official twitter account of whats app messenger was like below:

The reasons are not clear , in fact completely unknown. One can speculate security issues, some backdoor to know, but that Apple has discovered. Who knows.

And that's exactly what I've always been more concerned with WhatsApp: how little we know about how the application works, where are our messages, whether or not these are stored on their servers, if history or not, either know much about the company itself. The page describing the company just says it was founded by two people (names omitted) who previously worked at Yahoo!.

Even so is the network of mobile instant messaging and more popular choice for millions of people around the world and in the process save enough money by eliminating the use of SMS.

The unavailability of purchase WhatsApp in the App Store does not affect in any way sending and receiving messages, users simply do not already have and want to buy it for their iPhones, may not, at least temporarily.

[How to] Type special characters on Android and iPhone.

Yet, it’s quite difficult to type special characters on Android devices and iPhone. I am using android and experiencing it. I usually launch Character Map and I try to locate the letters with little hats, dots, accents and slashes. From there, I copy and paste the letters that I need. This process is more complicated and time consuming. when I wanted to send special characters via text messaging. I wondered if it was even possible. Generally, I have low expectations for mobile device performance. Yet, it was actually much easier to type special characters on Android than it was on my PC.

So, what’s the secret? Basically, just press and hold the letter that you want to have a special character. Say you want to put a little hat on the letter “a”. You just hold the “a” key and wait for the menu to pop up. From there, you can select the special addition you want to add. like ogoneks, diaereses, macrons, circumflexes, tildes and strokes. Even if you don’t have an Android device with a physical keyboard, the on-screen keyboard should work.

Well, I had actually had done this before. Yet, I forgotten about this cool feature. Since English is my primary (and pretty much only) language, I don’t use accents too often. But the next time I have to type the words résumé or cliché from my phone, I should be more prepared!

And just for fun, I also tried holding down a key on my Windows PC keyboard. But all I got was this…

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This is it, just press that key for a while and you will see all the special characters related to that key. Still have problems? Comment below, i'll try to make them out of you life.
