Get the best international and local communication apps with AppGallery

On 3 December 1992, the world's first SMS was sent over a GSM mobile network. Fast forward almost 30 years, and messaging is no longer what it used to be. Over the course of a decade, the rise of smartphones has fundamentally transformed the way people share information. The several messaging apps, as they are often called, provide so many different communication options that the term "messaging" simply does not do them justice. It is now simpler than ever to make voice or video calls with friends and family halfway across the globe, and share photos, videos and voice messages in real-time.

The recent pandemic proved that the power of communication apps extends to many aspects of our life. Apps like Zoom, Google Meet and WebEx grew in popularity as they enabled remote employees to collaborate efficiently and students to attend virtual classrooms during social distancing. Microsoft Teams, for instance, saw its daily active users jump from 13 million in July 2019 to 145 million in April 2021. WhatsApp, however, remains the most used messaging app globally. The Meta-owned app has already crossed the 2 billion users milestone in 2020 and continues to be the most popular messaging app in the UAE, with an 80,2% user share. According to the latest data, its users also love voice messaging: on average, they send 7 billion voice messages every day.
