There is no shortage of communication tools these days. Therefore, one hardly has any excuse for not staying in touch with loved ones. Viber and WeChat are two popular communication tools available. Here’s some information on both mobile communication tools to help you decide on which one to use.
WeChat
With nearly 400 million active users, WeChat is blazing the trail in mobile communication. This app boasts a number of features that you will love.

WeChat is free to download on iPhone, Windows phone Android, Blackberry and Symbian devices. You will never get bored when you have the WeChat App. This as there is a number of exciting features available. Some of the engaging features include friend radar, voice chat, walkie talkie, free call, sticker gallery, and shake.
Friend radar, walkie talkie and shake are three features unique to WeChat. Friend Radar automatically detects those on your contact list who are already using WeChat and displays them on your radar screen. The Walkie Talkie feature allows you to host and participate in live chats with your friends. This feature is only available for owners of Anfroid and iPhone devices. Shake is a wonderful way to meet new friends across the world. With this feature, all you have to do is shake your phone and you will find other individuals who are shaking.
Viber

Viber and WeChat are two resourceful communications apps.

If you want versatility and excitement and flexibility, then WeChat is the app you should opt for.
