It's quite interesting that despite chat and video messaging apps being those that should stick for long they actually tend to be replaced with relative ease.

It's quite interesting that despite chat and video messaging apps being those that should stick for long they actually tend to be replaced with relative ease. Since I started my online journey I've been through ICQ, IRC, MSN, Skype, Hangouts, Kik, Teams, Telegram, Whatsapp, and many many others I don't even remember. Yet at every point it seems that something breaks, they feel like they have to add more and more features, core features start sucking, etc. Whatsapp is the only one that stuck since I started using it, and I suspect part of the reason is both the fact my friends and relatives just won't move from it (it essentially replaced SMS) and the fact that Whatsapp cares a lot about the client being very performing even on lowest end old devices.
