How are you communicating with your loved ones, friends, and business affiliates who are in distance locations? According to statista.com, in 2016, over 2.5 billion people used at least one messaging app. That's one-third of the world's entire population. 

There is so many Good chat application that is available to both android and iOS phone users and I will be listing and giving reasons why I believe they are one best chat app that is available out there. 

They include: 

1. Whatsapp: As of October 2021, two billion users were accessing WhatsApp every month. In 2014, social network Facebook acquired the mobile app for 19 billion dollars. One of the vital reasons I think WhatsApp is one the best chat app that is available to iOS and Android users is, the privacy of a chat powered by encryption which makes it safer.

2. Facebook messenger: Facebook has active users of 2.91 billion as of the third quarter of  2021. It is a reasonably Smart way to send and receive in a short period. One of the reasons I think Facebook Messenger is one of the best iOS and Android chat apps is because it makes communication a lot easier.

3. We chat: one of the justifications of including we chat in this list is because it is a platform that incorporates the functionality of all global networks into one place. For instance, we chat has personal data similar to Facebook. 

4. Twitter direct message: Twitter boasts 63 million users in the USA alone. One rationale why Twitter is included in this list is because as a business owner it creates an avenue to connect with followers on a better intimate level. It also gives room for safe messaging.

5. Telegram:  Telegram support end-to-end encryption of messages. In other words, it makes communication safer. Also, users are allowed to send pictures, audio and video as part of their messages.

6. Skype: skype support instant messaging and also offers a group chat option, giving one the capacity to hold meetings. 

7. Imo video call app:  one of the reasons why IMO is included in this list is because it offers varieties of options that makes communication easier. For example, one can be in Manchester and still hold meetings with someone in Paris right at the comfort of your home this is because it gives rooms for video calls. 

8. Instagram: Instagram makes it possible to send large files and also video messages in a short time. It is also a vital chat app for business owners.

9. Snapchat: Also as a business owner snap chat support video message. You can chat in the comfort of your home and advertise Your product to a wider audience at no cost at all. 

10. Hangouts:  it is also a vital social media chat app for business owners. As Dominic Beaulieu a tech writer puts it," you can post new videos on YouTube and share them via Google hangouts." In other words, one can link his Hangouts account to youtube. 

Some of the standards that I consider before arriving at this conclusion Includes:

1. Privacy and security:  How safe the application is when it comes to sending and receiving messages. Does The application support end-to-end encryption? Does a third party have access to my message?  If the answer to the first question is a yes and the second one is a No. Then such an app is worthy to be among the best.

2. Communication mode:  If the communication mode encompasses text, audio and even video then such an app is worthy to be on the list. 

3. Audience reach: what is the reach of the chat app? Is also one of the questions to take into consideration. 

Android and iOS support varieties of chat apps but some are better than others. If one takes the reflection of all the reasons discussed in the article one will indeed arrive at the same conclusion.
