Facebook Vs. Whatsapp

Facebook, the name which needs no introduction, Social gaint, it seems like every day that we are reminded that Facebook is number one.
Still, like everything else, people are starting to get bored with Facebook and want to move on to something new, especially teenagers and younger people.

While it might be a while before something grows as large as Facebook, there is one app that is quickly rising in popularity and is being described as a “Facebook” killer. The App that I am talking about is named “WhatsApp” and it recently hit 400 million users.

Whats app

WhatsApp is a messaging app which allows you to exchange messages around the world without have to pay for anything. WhatsApp is available for every platform including: iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia. WhatsApp uses the internet that you use for web browsing to send messages to your friends. In addition to being able to send basic messages, you can create groups, send each other images, video and even audio messages.

WhatsApp is growing in popularity, because it is a lot more private than what Facebook is. Privacy and control is the main reason that people are switching over to things like WhatsApp. Plus, WhatsApp doesn’t collect your data and doesn’t even have advertisements.


Since Facebook has been around for a while, people are going to start looking for a change and that change is to something that is more private where they can talk to their friends without worrying about certain people seeing their stuff, Family Members or the Boss. WhatsApp provides people with a way to share with each other PRIVATELY and wont use what they send to market things toward people.
