The experience made it clear that WhatsApp, even with more than 450 million users, by no means has certain domination of the free texting market â and you would think it might if Facebook paid up to $19 billion to acquire the start-up.

I also have this “which app are you on?” experience whenever I meet people at conferences or networking events, especially internationally. My “messaging” folder of apps gets a workout daily as I switch between WhatsApp (friends in Mexico and Spain), GroupMe (Seattle friends), Skype (work), Facebook Messenger (NYC and Boston friends), then a much smaller percentage of time on Line and Viber (random international folks).
