Introduction: Well, these days, we heavily rely on technology to maintain our social network, and we use different social networking platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp many more.
What the app/program is? Here, I would like to talk about WhatsApp, which I use frequently.
How you use it? This platform is more popular than others, as it is much easier to use. WhatsApp allows the users to contact others via Text message, voice and video calls. Also, it makes the communication way more interactive by allowing to share pictures, emojis and videos.
how you feel about it? It also has a wonderful feature of forming groups. I have made the different group of my friends, relatives and other and this way I can chat with them in a group rather than individually which facilitates the communication with many at one time especially when we have to share an important message with many.
In fact, these days, we can also share our status on this platform which our followers can check anytime and comment. Since these days, it has become challenging to meet others in person; this social networking app is more like a boon for the users.
For example, many of my friends live abroad, and just because of WhatsApp, we never feel that we are miles apart. We often share our photographs and regularly make video calls tit remain in touch.
Conclusion: Finally, the best thing about this platform is that it is absolutely free and that’s perhaps the reason why more and more people use it, and this thing also makes it, favourite social networking platform.
