WhatsApp is an individual messaging app and a VoIP service which is owned by Facebook. It is the most widespread mobile messaging app with a user base of over 1.5 billion. It is available for Android and other smartphones free unless you have not surpassed your daily data limit or connected to a free WiFi Network. It sends you videos on the go, and it also offers free audio and video calling service anytime, regardless of where you are.

Facebook Messenger is an individual app that is run by Facebook. It is Facebook’s namesake app, which works autonomously but necessitates a Facebook login to get started. This sign-in page indicates that the user can only get in after effectively verifying their Facebook accounts. It permits you to add those who have the messenger app installed but are not on your Facebook friends list; unlike WhatsApp, the Facebook messenger does not limit how many photos you can send at once.

These are two types of messaging apps that people can use when they want to connect with people from different parts of the world. WhatsApp is known to work smoothly with different types of internet connections. It would work even if you only have a 3G network. When it comes to messaging, both of these messaging apps will work. There are just some differences when it comes to the calls that you are going to make. Facebook Messenger is going to be more superior when it comes to calling different people. The calls are going to be so much clearer. Another difference between the two is that WhatsApp will allow you to delete messages that you would like to unsend. With Facebook Messenger, people will know that you have deleted a message.

One thing that you should know about Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp is that they are both messaging apps but they do have some differences that will make people choose one over the other.

In Facebook Messenger, you would need to have an account on Facebook before you can use Messenger because this is just an extension. When you use Whatsapp, you can use a separate account from your Facebook account.

This will require you to have a mobile device and a mobile number so that you can start chatting with other people. If you would like to reach more people, you can definitely use Whatsapp over Facebook Messenger.

Whatsapp and Facebook messenger are two types of apps that can be used to communicate with one another. WhatsApp is a standalone app that a person can download through the app store on their device. It is not necessary to have a login or a password to use this application. Facebook Messenger is an app that is associated with FaceBook. To use this messaging system, a person must have a login and password on the FaceBook app. Both apps can be used to share photos with one another. Whatsapp only allows users to share ten photos at once, while FaceBook messenger has no limit.
