I honestly knew very little about this space, but now that I understand the difference. The winner is clear. Focus is the secret to branding and what's app is the only one with a clear singular focus... Categories don't converge. They diverge. That's just how evolution works. Plus, the human mind associates convergence as compromise. The likely outcome of this battle will be that people will assume what's app focus means they are better at messaging and everyone else's apps short of bringing a new level of convenience we are willing to compromise for, will be perceived as second class. After all,how can someone doing two things be better at something than someone who specilizes in it exclusively?

> After all,how can someone doing two things be better at something than someone who specilizes in it exclusively? There are many reasons why this is possible. For example: why are RISC CPUs dominating CISC CPUs? While this comparison is slightly unfair because you want to compare a general purpose CPU to an ASIC, it illustrates a case where trying to have an instruction focus on doing one thing well is worse than having multiple instructions try and do it.

  I'm talking about how human perception works. We assume a specialist knows more than a generalist. Same goes for branding, we assume a specialized product works better than an all in one product.
