Still WhatsApp ? Why Not Made In India-Hike!

 


A few years ago, SMS messages were very popular. But then came the era of smartphones and traditional SMS texts were replaced by (almost) free online messengers.Whatsapp became the most popular platform of chatting online .
One of reason was that there was no other such platform . But now there is a list of social messaging apps like Line,chinese Wechat,Skype and many more.
Yes , how can we forget our desi Hike.While facing stiff competition from these messengers, the desi Hike messenger has really taken Whatsapp by storm, at least in India. This has started the battle – Whatsapp vs Hike. Whatsapp is becoming old as our friend Orkut :D.
. Hike is Providing better stuff than whatsapp in every aspect . So lets see what are the benefits of Hike messenge over Whatsapp ....


1. Allowable Media Size and Media Quality


Hike allows a maximum of 100MB of size per file against a mere 16MB on Whatsapp. However, it may be agreed that 16MB is more than enough for images and audio files, but the video files are easily greater than 16MB creating a problem for the users.
Also, Whatsapp has the option of trimming and compressing the videos which degrade the original quality. Also, quality of the transferred images is altered too.

2. Document Support

                           
Whatsapp does not support document formats.
Hike supports document formats like .ppt, .docx, .pdf etc. One advantage that users have here is that they can transfer document files of upto 100MB while most email clients only provide with 25MB limit

3. Referral Rewards And Free Coupons

                          
Hike made its user base of 20 million by luring users into downloading the app and rewarding them with talktime recharges. Hike pays Rs. 20 for each successful referral and Rs. 15 to the new user who signs up. The user can redeem the money as a talktime for his phone after the minimum earning of Rs. 50. If you are on postpaid plan then after the hike reward redemption, your next bill amount will get reduced by the amount you redeemed.
Free Coupons can be used for shopping online through hike.

4. Custom Chat Themes for Conversations

                                           
Whatsapp allows you to change the background wallpaper, but Hike offers even more. Hike lets you have customised themes for each conversation that is visible to both the end users.

5. Stickers and Emoticons

                                              
While Whatsapp started the emoticon revolution using the Emoji icons, it has remained the more or less the same for years now.
Though not an original idea, Hike supports many exciting stickers that just add the spice to the conversations ðŸ˜› These stickers are regularly updated every 2-3 months

6.Free Messages to Non-Hike Users

                                   
Even if your friends are not on Hike, you can send them free SMS messages using Hike. Each Hike user is given 100 free SMS each month. Hike also gives 50 bonus SMS for every successful invitation along with Rs.20. These SMS messages can be sent only in India.

7. FREE  Lifetime  validity

Hike is an ad-free messenger which does not charge anything for its services ever Because It is Made in India with love..

8.Better Privacy

 
Whatsapp fetches all contacts from the phonebook and matches them with the Whatsapp users and then automatically add all the contacts to the Whatsapp contact list.
Hike users have to send and accept friend requests to ensure privacyEach Hike user can choose to show or hide his last seen to his friend.

9.Hike is more secure to Eavesdropping

                                                  
Whatsapp messages are saved on the SD card of the device. These chat logs are encrypted, but extracting conversations from them is easy. In fact, the internet is loaded with tutorials for the same ðŸ˜›

10.Passcode
