Here's The top 5 Best Free Messaging Apps for Android
(What's up ?) 1 year ago

Need a way to send messages to friends and family on Android for free? Check out the best free Android messaging apps.

 

In today's world, we text more than we call. That's not to say we don't call at all anymore, just that calls are more time consuming and often inconvenient. Texting provides a quick way to relay a message without having to be stuck to your phone for an hour on a call.

And in more recent history, we use messaging apps rather than SMS messaging apps because they offer more features. Messaging apps offer awesome ways to customize chats among friends, schoolmates, or colleagues. Check out some of the best free messaging apps for Android.

1. Signal

If privacy is the most important thing you want out of a messaging app, you should use Signal. Signal uses end-to-end encryption to keep all your messages, pictures, videos, and calls secure. Signal's servers will never save your messages. Plus, the app is open source so you're free to audit the code if you know how and want to.

Any images or videos you take within the Signal app are never saved to your camera roll. Then, there are also built-in image editing features. This is awesome so you never have to leave the app and save an image to your phone to edit it through another app.

And believe it or not, all that privacy you get is completely free. There are no ads in this app, no in-app purchases, and none of your information is being sold to fund the app.

2. WhatsApp

WhatsApp launched in 2009 and it has grown massively in popularity since then, especially recently after they added video call functionality. Although the most popular way to use WhatsApp is on your phone, you can use it on other devices as WhatsApp Web.

Messages through WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted and you can send text, voice, pictures, videos, and even documents. You can tie your existing phone number to WhatsApp and see which of your contacts are using the app. Then, you can also make free domestic and international phone calls through the app using your phone's Internet connection.

3. Viber

Viber is another fantastic free messaging app that boasts cross-platform capabilities among a wide array of devices. You can do all the same stuff you can do with other messaging apps, like send end-to-end encrypted messages, pictures, etc. and link your existing phone number to sync your contacts.

Viber is less popular, so fewer people are on it compared to larger messaging apps like WhatsApp. That said, if you've tried out WhatsApp or you just want something less crowded, convince your friends to try out Viber. It gives you everything you need out of a good messaging app, like free long distance calls, and privacy.

4. KakaoTalk

KakaoTalk is another messaging app that's easy to use and offers a lot of fun extras like emoticons, stickers, voice filters and more. The app offers free calls and you can send messages and multimedia.

One of the cool things about KakaoTalk is that you can set appointments within the app. Then you can set reminders for those events so you never miss lunch with a friend or a business meeting.

5. Discord

Discord is probably most popular among the gaming community, but it's not exclusive to gamers.

With Discord, you can create different groups among your friends to chat in. Then, you can create chat and voice channels within each group. You can create as many channels as you want, with titles like Memes, School Stuff, and Hang Outs to keep chats separate and focused.
