·        Viber:

1)      This app uses 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity to make calls. If the connection is strong, the calls are without breaks and interruption. The audibility of the call depends upon the internet connectivity of the phone.

2)      Viber comes with a number of stickers and emoticons, which are really very cute. They are a favourite with the young as they carry the message without any words. The stickers are really vibrant and provide a zing to the monotonous text conversations.

3)      The group chat feature in viber makes it an excellent choice to converse with friends and family in a group. Chatting in a group is a whole lot of fun and viber enables its users to do it. Up to 100 members can be added to the group.

4)      Viber is mostly used for calling rather than texting. The voice message feature in the app helps in sending messages by means of recording rather than texting.

5)      The disadvantage of viber is that sometimes, configuring the contacts can be a pain, and its internet usage is very high.

·        WeChat:

1)      While Viber does not allow the user to host video calls, WeChat can help its users to have a video conversation over the phone. It requires a 3G or Wi-Fi connection just like Viber.

2)      The stickers used in this app are really cute. The app supports voice messages and text messages as well. The only disadvantage is that it does not export chats.

3)      WeChat is primarily a text app and is mostly used to send free text messages; the Web Grab plugin makes the app even better.

While both apps are really good, it depends upon the discretion of the user to choose from the two. If the user prefers voice calls then viber is the best option, while for those who love to text and send stickers WeChat is the app to download.
