So, interface and usability-wise, I’ll give a point to WhatsApp. Viber also has some limited options for Nokia S40 Symbian regarding the user experience. The IM is also very easy to use but the additional video and voice calling options mess up the whole experience. You only have 2 basic menu items in Viber. Viber, on the other hand, has the same purple and white colored interface for all platforms, whether you are running it on PC or mobile phone. On the other hand, WhatsApp for Symbian and Blackberry also has a basic type of interface, while for Android/iOS/Windows Phone, they have that standard green/blue colored UI. But this has been done to make your WhatsApp experience better. You can’t view profiles of your friends properly. You can’t insert emoticons and text in the same line. Nokia S40 and Nokia S40 Symbian have the most basic WhatsApp interface. But mainly, its interface depends on the type of platform you are using. WhatsApp Inc launches updates frequently to make its interface more appealing and user-friendly. WhatsApp’s user interface is quite simple and easy to handle. So, compatibility-wise, Viber gets a point. Viber’s Android compatibility starts with Android 2.0. You need to have Android 2.1 or later in order to run WhatsApp. For Viber, you must have Windows Phone 8 while WhatsApp works on both Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8. You must have iOS 3.4 or later to run both. However, Viber can be installed in your Windows or Mac and is available for Bada users as well. This means that Nokia S40 users can’t install Viber on their phones. Its compatibility starts from this and goes to Nokia S60, and Android/iOS/BB. After this, its compatibility will increase to Nokia S40 Symbian, S60, and Android/iOS/BB OS/Windows, etc.įor Viber, you need to have at least a Nokia S40 Symbian. The compatibility of WhatsApp starts with Nokia S40 phones, at least one app-compatibility wise. But what are the things that make one better than the other? Check out the comparison below. They let you chat using the Internet only, they have loads of emoticons, you can set your profile on both the applications, etc. You might be aware of the functions of both the applications. In this article, we will compare the features of both the apps and then conclude a winner at the end. Among all these, WhatsApp and Viber are the most popular ones. Now that smartphone usage is on the rise, IM applications have become a necessity of users. It never means that we have found kinds of chatting but at least we have found better alternatives to SMS and soon we’ll be seeing something that would replace SMS technology properly.
But, with the launch of IM applications like Viber, WhatsApp, ChatOn, WeChat and Skype, this SMS technology will soon meet its maker.
SMS ruled the technology for almost a decade and people believed that this rule won’t end soon.
