Change is inevitable, and this is noticeable in the technology sector. When it comes to advancements, the tech industry is among the most consistent. This is proven by how people started shifting from using SMS to instant messaging applications as their default way of sending and receiving messages. 

As the name suggests, SMS or short message service only allows you to send a limited number of characters to your receiver. Furthermore, this service requires you to have data or load before you can send messages. But as time progressed, instant messaging applications were introduced to the public. These apps permit users to send and receive messages without purchasing mobile loads, as long as they are connected to the internet. 

Some of these applications are WhatsApp, WeChat, and Telegram. These three applications have been steadily taking over the digital messaging market, and their popularity has resulted in more similar applications popping up in the Playstore and App Store. These messaging software had even become more rampant during the COVID-19 pandemic when face-to-face restrictions were raised. Companies and individual entities have resorted to using online applications for their mode of communication. This then raised a debate on what is the world’s largest communication provider.

Checking the statistics would tell you that WhatsApp remains to have the most number of unique users among the three digital messaging platforms. But this does not mean people are not using the other two messaging applications. Companies and individuals can choose whatever they want, but they must remember to follow communication protocols, such as WeChat archiving. 

These laws are drafted for the protection of both companies and their users. A WeChat call recording and archiving system can safeguard them from any possible fraudulent cases or activities as it allows you to have easier access to surveillance and monitoring.
