Chats are those programs used to connect with others, friends or unknown people, to communicate via instant text messages (Messenger) or by making real phone calls or video calls using the Windows computer. In modern times chats have moved to smartphones and it is therefore natural that most programs are clients of the most famous and used free message applications such as Whatsapp
The most famous chat programs today, are not so much the best in how they present themselves or for the functions they have, they differ rather based on the number of people who use them.
Below, the list of the top 14 chat programs for Windows PC, most used in the world and in Italy.
1) Whatsapp for PC and Mac official program is the number one chat in the world.
2) Franz is the program that combines Whatsapp, Messenger, Skype and other chats on a PC in a single window.
3) As a real program, the most used is Skype which took the place of Windows Live Messenger in 2013.
If MSN Messenger was seen as a tool to waste time at work, Skype is instead considered a serious tool (even if it does the same things) and is generally accepted.
The power of Skype, however, is not in the chat but in the possibility that it offers to transform the computer into a telephone for voice communication or video chat.
If you want, you can buy credit and use Skype to make calls from your computer to landlines and mobile phones all over the world.
Among the Skype plugins, one of the most downloaded is SkypeLauncher which allows you to open multiple multiaccount sessions on the same computer.
I also remember that you can request a free Skype landline number to receive phone calls from your PC.
4) The Facebook Messenger chat from PC is not only online on the messenger.com site, but also possible with some Facebook Chat programs for PC.
5) Google Hangouts chat and video chat is available as an application for Google Chrome, as a chat on Gmail and as an app for iPhone and Android.
Hangouts is the evolution of Google Talk .
6) Viber is the program for messaging and calling for free from PC and mobile phones, the main competitor of Skype and Whatsapp.
7) Tor Messenger for anonymous private chat also on Facebook and Google Talk.
8) Telegram, like Whatsapp, is available on PC as an app and program.
