FB Messenger, for example, was created well after FB became popular. Skype chat is OK, but people using Skype largely use it for the video call functionality. While apps like WhatsApp, Viber and WeChat are largely chat only services, they do offer other features that would be hard to get from a client like Adium. WeChat, for example, offers money transfer in China. Viber has its silly stickers and WhatsApp..hmm..it's just a really simple app with a lousy UI used by a billion people..<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
