Конец эпохи SMS

Судя по всему люди скоро совсем откажутся от использования sms-сообщений. Мессенджеры все настойчивее занимают пространство в наших коммуникациях:

IHS Technology’s report found that the three most popular messaging apps, Facebook’s Messenger, WhatsApp, and China’s WeChat, make up over 70 percent of users on messaging apps.

As of February 2016, 1 billion people use WhatsApp, making it the second most popular app, after Facebook Messenger. Blogger Maron Price suggests WhatsApp’s usage has increased tremendously because users can now use WhatsApp on their PC.

However, even some of the original messaging apps are gaining a new following. In 2014, BlackBerry’s messaging app BBM had 113 million registered users and 85 million monthly active users.
