Many users and can not live a day without Internet for the simple reason that without it will not be possible to communicate with friends, who often live in a completely different country. Of course, for this purpose you can use the phone, but the conversations in this case can be too costly from a financial point of view.
In the course are a variety of programs: Skype and ICQ, Miranda, and AOL. But they all have some shortcomings that limit the use of specific utility in the real world. So, Skype is very heavy, but still requires a good Internet connection for normal operation. «ICQ» has long been the advertising dump AOL in our country is not too common, and “Miranda” has long gained a solid fame “messenger for geeks”, as for the settings you need to make some effort.
But because the pleasant exception is the application “what's Up”. What is this and what does it need?
This utility is for text messaging, and also for “throwing” each other photo and video files and other digital data. It would seem, nothing special. All of the above applications can do virtually the same thing. But not so easy with “what's Up"! Does it change anything for the end user?
First, the utility attracts fans even in your own extremely compact size. Secondly, more importantly in our conditions, the program works perfectly in conditions of poor connection with the network. Finally, it is – truly a cross-platform app! It is possible to install the ‘what's Up" for computer OS like Windows and “Mac”. But even more valuable that there are releases for almost all versions of “Android” and other mobile systems (even the old versions of Symbian), which makes it absolutely universal.

To Install and configure-here are two problems that constantly face novice users. But this time of such misadventures. All is done very simply and quickly.
However, one problem is still there. Remember how we talked about cross-platform utility? In fact, this versatility program is obliged not so much to their developers, as creators of the Java language, which has been used successfully on the existing platforms. Put simply, on Windows or “Mac” will have to put an emulator “Android”, under which you want to run the program. As to date, these tools enough, to stop this we will not.
However, it may be advisable to use the program BlueStacks. So far, the list of supported games and applications it is not too large, but it gradually increases, and the developers don't throw their own offspring, regularly releasing various patches and additions.
So how to install "what's Up"? As we said, there is nothing particularly difficult in this operation, but some things seem quite simple and logical. The entire installation consists of five points.
Actually, and how to use this app, making your friends more enjoyable and easier? Since the program interface is quite simple and thought out, the problem with this also not expected.
Tap on the contact icon (in our case – click the left mouse button) opens a chat window with the selected user. Next to the avatar of the contact time will be specified when he was last online (or online, if the person is now connected). In addition, there are two buttons: “attachment” and “emoticons”. Thus, in the message, you can insert virtually any file, contact card, and the data of its position through GPS (if available). This is particularly important in the case where your friend does not know your country or city, but he wanted the most accurate address.
Sending a message is done by clicking click on the button “Send”. Sending Enter is not provided. When a message is sent, and the recipient received it, on the contrary it appears checked. A trifle, it would seem, but this option is great saves time and replaces the “delivery Report" in the usual SMS messages.
Unlike the developers of the same "Skype", the creators of this app have provided a fairly extensive customization of the application. So, you can even change the background image of the chat. As for functionality, you can easily even chat with several people.
Attention! The program is completely free, but you must remember that this is only the first year of use. Subsequent you have to pay three dollars a year. However, the amount in any case not serious, so consigning this fact to the shortcomings clearly not worth it.
Note that the talk will only be with those of your friends who also have installed this app on your computer or smartphone. Many users somehow believe that even satellite phones can send SMS using “what's Up”. What's this! Some even think that allows for free calls to landlines worldwide!
You Must remember a simple thing: the utility allows to exchange text messages and files. Simple, only supports one (!) the data transfer Protocol, and therefore can not be used to send messages to «ICQ» or a similar program.
In addition, with all of its obligations in certain circumstances may not cope with even application “what's Up”. What it is if to speak a simple language? It's simple. If you choose to send a file a couple hundred megabytes, using the EDGE channel, then you have nothing. Moreover, the program here will not be to blame.
Another misconception, which many associated the program “what's Up”. What is it? For some reason users think that exchange messages and files absolutely for free. This is partly true, but consider this: if you send a few megabytes over the network from any operator, how much will have to pay for traffic?
By the Way, does the application have disadvantages? Yes, though not as much. First, there is still no native version for computers, and there are strong doubts that it will ever appear. Second, the old version of the mobile OS gradually thrown developers tools (“Android” 2.3.6, for example), although the devices under their management still continue to be issued.
That's why we need “what's Up” for PC. What it is, you already know.
