Facebook is reportedly
witnessing a decrease in its daily users, especially teens, who have started to prefer mobile messaging apps like WhatsApp and WeChat, over the social networking
giant.
|
Facebook admitted that it was a decrease in
daily teen users, indicating that they are still on the site but not using it
as much.
According to the Guardian, the mass exodus from
the social networking giant is attributed to the coming of messaging apps like
WhatsApp,WeChat and KakaoTalk, which
host free instant messages through a phone's data connection.
Unlike Facebook, these apps promote dynamic real-time
chatting with different groups of real-life friends, because one gets to
connect with people who already exist in their phone book.
WhatsApp, established in 2009, is the biggest
messaging app in the world by users, with more than 350 million monthly active
users globally, putting Twitter's 218 million users behind.
The report said that since apps like these shun
advertising, provide a more private sharing space like in SnapChat, and some
like Kakao Talk offer services other than simple messaging or photo sharing,
which includes gaming and music sharing.
However, these Asian apps are yet to woo the US
users because of the stylized nature of their interfaces, vivid colours,
characters and lettering, as the market there is used to being a little more
subdued.
