While we are happy to talk about new devices that are released every day, it is important to remember that they are only one side of the same coin. On a daily basis, they are not the ones who create their usefulness… But it is the apps that are there.

Given the success of iOS and Android, it’s not surprising that many developers are making their apps available on both platforms. This is especially true for WhatsApp, the world’s most used instant chat app.
