WhatsApp is not just an app anymore. Its a way of life. These messaging apps have paved their ways in our lives in such a way that they have become indispensable in more ways than we can imagine. In this article, we are discussing some of the benefits and drawbacks of WhatsApp:
The benefits...
1. Standard SMSes and call rates from telcos cost bombs particularly on special days and festivals. WhatsApp has nothing to do with such rates. You can wish your loved ones as per your choice.
2. WhatsApp emojis have taken expressions to an all new level, beyond the standard smileys used in common SMS languages. Like, an emoji with two beer mugs clunking is one of the finest ways of saying 'Cheers!'

3. Picture sharing was never as instant as it has become now. You don't need to mail them, put them on Facebook or send them through MMS. You just need to click a picture and share it with a click on WhatsApp, that takes no time whatsoever.
4. Ringing door bells to call a friend is such a passé. You just need to WhatsApp a friend now to call him out, when you are waiting.
5. Having a group chat in public was difficult previously, but not anymore with WhatsApp.
...And the drawbacks
1. Tele-marketers are ruining this space as well, with useless advertising.
2. Privacy goes for a toss when people can actually look at when you were last seen, or when did you actually see their message with the blue ticks.
