Why use WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is most popular for its App to App calling, text messaging, picture and audio sharing. A small number of businesses are starting to see the potential to connect their consumers via communication Apps, like WhatsApp or Viber vs traditional calling or email. Most important, WhatsApp is free for Apple and Android platforms. With real-time messaging capabilities, it is no wonder it is the world’s best messaging App.
WhatsApp is now commonly use between news organizations and people on the ground to provide the most latest updates.
BBC News is the first News media outlet (at the time of writing) to utilize a Mobile App to connect with people globally. It is a major shift in communication with news agencies from non-traditional methods of phone calls and emails. For developing stories, it is remarkable to have communication from local people who cannot make long-distance calls or don’t have access to email.

It is an undeniable fact that almost everyone has a mobile phone these days. People used to hesitate to provide their mobile numbers 10 years ago, but with new privacy laws implemented in Canada, you can now give your mobile number relatively worry-free. Also with the advancement of mobile Apps like WhatsApp and Viber, it is easier to contact other people or simply ignore them.
On January 18, 2016, WhatsApp announced the removal of the annual fee restrictions for using App and kept it Ad-Free. This is a huge jump for this popular mobile App. With Chrome browser extension on a desktop, you can send and receive messages from your desktop computer at work or home.
It is the new wave of connecting businesses & news agencies with the public. The only question is who gets their hands on this technology to get the benefits first. DigiPix Inc. also welcomes users to contact us using WhatsApp and Facebook message on our website DigiPixinc.com.
