Facebook Messenger, on the other hand, pushes all your messages among all your devices (and the Web) for maximum visibility. You can enroll as many phones as you want, but your friends will need all those numbers listed in their address books. On the other hand, it means that your WhatsApping is limited to a single device. It's also an inherent security measure, since someone would have to spoof your phone number (or steal your phone) to impersonate you. On one hand, this setup keeps WhatsApp super light and easy to use. This isn't exactly optional in my testing, I found that if a contact wasn't in my phone's address book, they weren't available in WhatsApp. The service then offers to scour your address book for phone numbers from other users, and automatically adds them as friends. Instead, you type in your phone number, which WhatsApp verifies with a text message. Most mobile messaging services, like Facebook Messenger, require you to create an account of some sort. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions.

The mobile messaging space is now extremely crowded, and, while WhatsApp has added critical new features like Web messaging and voice calls since my last review, it has started to show its age. But a lot has changed since we last took a formal look at WhatsApp. Boasting hundreds of thousands of users, it was the service. Among them, WhatsApp (free, 99-cent annual subscription) quickly gained a reputation, particularly abroad, as the leader in the space. Just a few years ago, messaging services that sought to replace SMS were few and far between.
