We Chat vs. Skype? Which IM app is the one for you?

The Fuse Joplin reported the following differences between We Chat vs. Skype that you may want to consider before you make your choice:

Accept as Friend First Before You Can IM

In Skype, users need to have people on their contact lists before they can exchange messages with them. In We Chat, users have the freedom to send messages to people who aren't on their contact list. This feature makes the IM app susceptible to spam messages.

Status Features' Absence in We Chat

Skype features status such as "Away," "Busy," etc. On the other hand, We Chat does not support these features.

Status of Messages

Skype tells senders whether or not their messages have been read by the recipients. We Chat does not have these features.

Language Expansion

Skype is currently available in 39 languages. We Chat, only in 19 languages.

Online Games in We Chat

Young IM users prefer to use We Chat because of the availability of online games in the IM app. Skype does not have online game features.

GPS App

We Chat has a GPS app. This app allows users to demonstrate their messages visually when communicating directions. The app facilitates better understanding between users.

Draft Messages Saved

We Chat saves draft messages automatically. This feature saves time from having to type your entire message all over again when you suddenly get disconnected from We Chat in the middle of typing the message you wish to send.
