In today's digital age, chatting apps have become an important part of our lives. Whether it is talking to friends, office work or greetings on festivals in the family group, chatting apps are used everywhere. Whenever there is talk of chatting, WhatsApp's name comes first. This app belongs to Mark Zuckerberg's company, Meta. On the other hand, another big name in the world of social media, Jack Dorsey, who has been the founder of X, has launched a new chatting app, BitChat.
Now the question arises, who is better among these two? Who is the real chat king? Read about the difference between these two.
WhatsApp was started in 2009 and is now a part of Meta. It is the most used chatting platform in many countries of the world, including India. It offers the option of sending messages, photos, videos and documents. Apart from voice and video calls, group chat, WhatsApp channels, and status, end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp Pay, and business account support are also available. Its interface is very easy, and it is available on almost all smartphones. It consumes less data and has a huge user base.
BitChat: Jack Dorsey's privacy-focused chatting app
BitChat is a new chatting app launched by Jack Dorsey. Its focus is on more privacy, decentralization, and user control. This app is connected to Web3 and blockchain technology, which makes the user's data more secure. The best thing is that it provides the facility of chatting without the internet. You can enjoy chatting with Bluetooth connectivity.
Although this app has not been launched for common users, but according to the company's claim, many features have been given in it. This app will have completely decentralized chatting, own control over user data, an inbuilt crypto wallet in some versions, encrypted chat and file sharing, no ads and less server interference. The best thing is that it can be used by Web3 users.
WhatsApp or BitChat?
If you want an easy interface, the ability to stay connected with friends and family, and a stable app, WhatsApp is a better choice.
But if you're focused on data privacy, interested in Web3 or crypto technology, and want to try something new, BitChat could be a great option.
