You can call, text and send emojis over the internet. For those of you who haven’t really heard about the app, it is very similar to WhatsApp and has almost the same functionalities. In 2014 when WhatsApp was blooming and was making strides in the tech world, another app known as “Signal” came into the online messaging business where it started to create a bit of a competition.
