WhatsApp vs. Line: Which Messaging Service Is Better?

Technology has made it much easier for people to stay in touch with each other. It’s also the reason people have seen the emergence of messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram and Line. Of course, trying to decide which one to use is tricky.

How do you know which one is the best?

Here is a look at two well-known messaging apps and their features:

A Look At Line

Line, which is free to use, is available for both iOS and Android users. It has more than 600 million users around the globe. It offers the basic functions like video and voice calls, as well as text messaging.

• The biggest benefit of Line is that you can send stickers in group chats. The downside is that not many of them are free. If you want more stickers, you’ll need to purchase them with Line coins.
• Group calls can include up to 200 people.
• It also comes with a feature called Timeline, which is similar to Facebook’s timeline.
• Line provides official accounts for news sites, artists, etc.

A Look At WhatsApp

Like Line, WhatsApp is free to use. There are more than one million users that you can talk with. You need a phone number and Internet connection to use the app, which will encrypt all messages. This ensures nobody can access the messages.

WhatsApp is also good for file transferring files such as Word, Excel and PDFs. You can also send audio messages as well as text messages.
