Many users are used to typing in a username and password on the computer, but is it necessary when you are on your personal device? I think Whatsapp was originally striving for a user-friendly interface that didn't require the mundane username and password login of a computer. However, now and in the future due to privacy concerns will almost always be required. Also, by acquiring the mobile app Whatsapp, Facebook now has even more powerful information to monetize their mobile platform. Ads on the mobile platform will help Facebook grow their revenue in the subsequent quarterly reports. You can bet Facebook will use Whatsapp to secure their position as a leader of sharing tools on smartphones.Melanie Marbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848823027711618057noreply@blogger.com
