Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp are one of the biggest instant messaging services but there are some who use both of them and some who use only one but it is really hard to tell which one is better, so let's do something about it! I am going to tell you which one is better in this article by just pointing out the pros and cons of both the apps. Let us begin!
WHATSAPP IS NOT TECHNICALLY FREE!
Whatsapp messenger is free on IOS but on other operating systems, it is not technically free! You get the first year free but after that it is $0.99 for every year which is a real bummer for some. But sometimes whatsapp automatically gives you a year more for free or there are also some hacks on the internet which you can try, that's why i used the word "technically", while on the other end Facebook messenger is totally free!
YOU DON'T GET STICKERS ON WHATSAPP.
While some out there love emoticans, they are not really as attractive as the stickers which you don't get on Whatsapp! Emoticons are a great way to express your feelings but animated stickers look more vibrant and eye catchy which you do get on the Facebook messenger!
YOU CAN'T SEND VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK MESSENGER.
Sharing media is now a important part of our life as i see it whether it is an audio file, image or a video which is now available on almost all IMs but what you miss on the Facebook messenger is sending videos!
On Whatsapp, you can however send videos and Whatsapp will automatically compress it for you which is a nice feature to have!
FACEBOOK MESSENGER LOOKS MUCH MORE MODERN!
While I do appreciate the background wallpapers on Whatsapp, let's face it Whatsapp looks really ugly other than on IOS! Facebook messenger on the other side with its blue and white combination looks much more modern!
FACEBOOK MESSENGER REQUIRES A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!
On Whatsapp, you can just simply add a number to your contacts and there it is on your favorites list if the person is using Whatsapp but on Facebook messenger, you require a Facebook account to log in and use it which can be annoying sometimes if you are not a Facebook user!
YOU GET FREE VOICE CALLS ON FACEBOOK MESSENGER!
On both whatsapp and facebook messenger, you get the ability to send audio notes but what you don't get on Whatsapp is the ability to call someone! However this feature of Facebook messenger is limited to Android and IOS but I hope it comes to other operating systems soon.
NO CHAT-HEADS ON WHATSAPP.
While working or doing anything else on your smartphone, if you get a new message on facebook messenger, you can just reply it using chat-heads right away without closing what you were doing which you miss on Whatsapp! On Whatsapp, you have to close what you were doing and open whatsapp to reply to that message.
YOU CAN'T SEND MUSIC FILES ON FACEBOOK MESSENGER!
You can as i said before send audio notes on both apps but on whatsapp, you get the benefit of sending music files already available on your phone like MP3 files which you miss on Facebook messenger!
TO SUM UP...
Both the messaging services are a great way to interact with your friends or family but on Facebook messenger, you get a friendly and good looking UI but if you like exchanging more media, Whatsapp is an obvious choice! It is up to you now which one to choose as you now know the pros and cons of both the services.
