Rome – The race to compete with WhatsApp is enriched by another chat, this time all Italian. It’s called WhichApp, a name not too different from the rival, and allows you to do the same things the application owned by Facebook and also something more, such as simultaneous translation of messages. The team working on the project consists of seven people, average age 34 years. The app has also been included by Grata Research, a US analyst firm, in the interactive map that monitors and reports the chat the most important in the world.

Most of the users WhichApp, 91%, are Italian but the remaining 9% is distributed over different countries of the world (the United States, England, Russia, France, Germany, Spain and even China). “The project – explains Lodadio – has been achieved so far with the help of the company ACS and some close friends who believed in.
