Whatsapp and similar app have utterly destroyed the SMS to confirm this, a study of the Nra. The number of SMS sent in the year 2016 is a decrease of 75 percent compared to 2012, the year in which the Short Message Service have reached the maximum peak.
The SMS are outdated, are now just an old communication system that almost no one uses despite the telephone companies that they seek in all ways to keep in life. But technology, as we know, does not stop and continues to move forward, sometimes very fast like in this case.
As you can read on the pages of the Nra: "Interesting data for the sms sent by the beginning of the year (17.8 billion): that are "cannibalized" by new communication applications, in particular Whatsapp, have been reduced by 27.7% compared to the same period of 2015 and more than 75%, as compared to the maximum level reached in 2012 (72,2 billion)".
To have an order of ideas, and much heavy loss in terms of the number of text messages, in mid-2004, the volume of traffic was equal to 500 billion text messages. An impressive growth if you think that only four years before the SMS sent were only 17 billion.
some Whatsapp has an important role in the departure of the "text", but it is not the only one. Other application accomplice is certainly the Messenger and the other as Telegram. the Whatspp and Messenger, both of Facebook that in the course of the year, has also merged the data of the users supplied to the two applications, and this is having some trouble with the Antitrust authorities.
But, if in the case of Messenger you need to be users of Facebook, in the case of Whatsapp, you only need to have a phone number. The reason for the SMS, now free in almost all the plans of the telephone operators, came out defeated from the fight with the messaging app is very clear and evident.
The SMS text messages, Whatsapp and the like, it is possible to send images, now, GIFS, videos, voice messages, make calls and video calls. In short, there is no comparison between the two systems, the SMS have done their course, and is near the arrival of the last message sent.
