By now you will be aware of the problems that WhatsApp suffered last night, some problems with which the popular instant messaging application was out of service globally for no more and no less than two long hours.
Two long hours that were news worldwide even being Trending topic on Twitter, and it is that in the absence of WhatsApp that we remember that it is an application that has more than 1200 million monthly users, Twitter became the escape from many of these frustrated users.
The thing happened there at the edge of ten at night Spanish time, at which time WhatsApp's instant messaging service stopped practically worldwide which caused the madness of its users who literally stormed the network to bombard with questions such as What's wrong with WhatsApp? OR How to know if WhatsApp is down?
Questions that today do not get any more answers from the leaders of WhatsApp, including Mark Zuckerberg, who already said last night on his own Twitter account in which he simply commented that «We are already aware of the problem and we are putting all the means to solve it«.
Among the most ingenious comments that last night I could see through Twitter or himself group of Androidsis on Telegram, I am left with some very, very funny comments in which they assured that WhatsApp problems were due to the FBI itself updating the application servers.
Very witty comments the truth that come bare about the rumors that Facebook and WhatsApp, both apps by Mark Zuckerberg, they could spy on us directly and share our data with the secret services or security agencies such as the FBI or the CIA of the United States.
The fact is that what I cannot or do not understand, is that having other options to communicate in a much more secure and efficient way as well as with many more possibilities that WhatsApp offers us, applications such as Telegram itself that It is multiplatform, so many millions of users still use the terrible instant messaging service that WhatsApp offers us, an app that at this point in the movie has already become totally outdated in addition to going to the drag of the other instant messaging applications such as Telegram.
The truth is that the only thing I can think of for this to be the case is one's own loyalty to an application that was the pioneer in its day in this of the free messages through the network.
And I say pioneer because far from being the first application to offer us this, when we already had messenger a long time ago, yes. was the pioneer in bringing it to a mobile operating system and taking advantage of the gap that existed in this of mobile instant messaging applications, where payment messages via SMS were the order of the day.
There is no doubt that WhatsApp knew how to anticipate the needs of users And, thanks to a great advertising campaign that appeared in all the media, including television and cinema and that you will surely still remember at this point, it was able to take the great bulk of users who demanded and needed an application that allow you to communicate with family and friends without having to pay per message sent.
In any case, I continue in my belief that the majority of users who currently continue to use WhatsApp, although for me it is an outdated application and with very few possibilities, it is because They do not know or have found out about the possibilities offered by other instant messaging apps such as Telegram, an app that is at the forefront of innovation and that from here Androidsis and I personally encourage you to try it so that you can see and realize what you have been missing until now with your old WhatsApp app.
By the way, if you are one of those users who want to opt for a real alternative to WhatsApp and much better than this application that lately fails more than a fairground shotgun, I invite you all to join the group of Androidsis on Telegram in which we have already managed to create in just over five days a large Android community of more than 700 people and that continues to grow day by day.

I enjoy both messaging systems, but I don't know what obsession with reviling WhatsApp in front of Telegram. If it had been the other way around, we would now be saying that Telegram is a Russian spy system that depends on the KGB (or whatever they have now), etc. What I like is that there is competition to generate creativity and initiative. Nor do I understand enough to refute that if one system has more security than another, what I do know is that it is impossible for anyone to be interested if I stay for a Burger dinner with my friends or stay at home. Both systems are good and are improving, but the controversy is as old as man, Vespa or Lambretta, Porsche or Ferrari, Canon or Nikon, PC or Mac, Android or IOS.
