What's What's app?

[cd365]

If you mean Facebook Messenger then I personally don't use it because of the access rights on your phone that it requires to work.

Oh come on now. As quick as I type you're all bringing in different apps! What's Snap chat? And hangouts, never heard of that one. Slow down one at a time please!

Steam!!!!!

I agree with you about snap chat. Whats app is better than hangouts though.

You have to be dead careful about snap chat. It's banned between my kids and out friends kids - too many flaws for kids. and dodgy folk.

I has and the kids have

They use Steam - bet you hadn't heard of that !!!

No. I looked it up. Looks like it's good for people who play a lot of online games.

Hangouts is messages, and hangouts dialer is free phone calls, like skype. Its part of google I think?

Not sure Paul has heard of Google

I suppose that it makes sense to use whatever most of your friends and family use.

I suppose it's all part of getting older but I don't understand what What's app is. What does it do that a text ,phone call or even messenger can't do? I've asked my daughter who says its quicker but surely messenger is instant.
Any ideas?

Try it and see?

I think I'll stick to my dumb phone, my record player and my typewriter

Steam!!!!!

Actually it's one of the most used messenger/video systems for kids.

It was a way of ensuring games were legit, but it's now a way of buying games, but being logged in, the folk can talk to friends on it, video and all sorts.

Thats what my two use - it's pretty secure....

If you can navigate your way around this forum, then using something like whats app is easy!!

What I don't understand is that if one thing works why invent another that does exactly the same thing with no extra benefits.
