Is whatsapp making a snail paced attempt at becoming WeChat of the west?

  Never going to happen at this pace. No API No Money Transfer (Well, not yet)

    Money Transfer is going to become a feature in India. They're using a payments API that works with all bank existing accounts, so anyone using whatsapp in India could transfer money to and from anyone who's set up their account for UPI.

  WeChat of anything not China would be a better way of putting it. One of their biggest consumer bases is India and there it may actually manage to become like WeChat.

  I think Facebook makes experimental developments to Messenger first, and then it develops what works really well on WhatsApp after that. But I don't use WhatsApp, and don't really see the fine details of their work, so I could totally have it assbackwards.
