Why is WhatsApp more popular than other similar messenger apps like Viber and Kik?








A simple UI that doesn't get in the way of users. Most apps out there focussed on adding features in a manner that detracts from simplicity. Whatsapp avoided that trap.

Word-of-mouth promotion by satisfied users. All the above points translate to the most potent factor in WhatsApp's success. People persuaded their friends to get the app. No kind of marketing can achieve this

Reliable messaging. WhatsApp can perform very well in EDGE connections, no need to worry about delivery.  

No need to sign-up. Install and provide your phone number, and you are there on WhatsApp.

Multi-platform availability. platform like Nokia S40 , Nokia Symbian and Blackberry.

First mover advantage. Very hard to break

Technologically simple. very simple app easy to update and fix the bugs.

Agreements with device manufacturers like Nokia and Sony. preinstalled on the phones, user have to only put their data service-On and ready for WhatsApp.

Free on Android, the fastest growing smartphone platform. Their user license say that you have to pay after one year but has not been implemented yet. I've been using it for more than 2 years. On Android WhatsApp is being mostly used.  

No pesky in-app advertisements. Without having to view irritating ads, you just chat here.
