Viber VS WeChat - which of the two apps is better?

The smart phone has taken the world by storm; the definition of making calls has been changed all thanks to the invention of the smart phones. Nowadays, a 3G or H₊ internet connectivity is used to make calls; these calls are free of cost as they use the internet for connection. Now calling people all over the globe have been made much simpler, and reasonable. One simply needs to download a voice call app and register the phone number after which they can make calls to anyone who uses the same app.

Viber and WeChat are similar apps which provide with calling features, free of cost. The apps enable the users to send free text messages as well, packed with features and stickers they are fun to use and easy to operate. Now the question may arise that if both the apps have similar features, it would not be wise to download both and waste phone space. Choosing the better app out of the two can be difficult, because both offer similar things. The following list provides with the many features of both apps, read well and choose well.

·        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.
