Instant messaging apps are growing increasingly popular throughout the world with each passing year. What is it about instant messaging that makes it so popular. An instant messaging app is an application allowing for the transmission of instant messages and multimedia information via the Internet.

The common messaging apps that we use today were not the first ones, as between 2000 and 2010, ICQ was one of the most widely used instant messaging clients around the world.

Viber, WhatsApp, and Telegram have hundreds of millions of users. Pretty soon the number will be in billions.
