Chat is now fundamental to everyday conversation, solving consumers’ problems, building communities, connecting teachers with the students to provide them a seamless learning experience, selling products, connecting patients with doctors...and the list goes on. As consumers, we barely pay attention to it. Instead, we notice when chat isn’t around.
There are currently over 1.6 million apps listed on the Google Play Store, with Apple’s App Store coming in close behind. It’s a saturated market, and in order to be ahead of the competition, you need to be able to optimize your app listing for both store searchability and building an audience.
If you are a budding developer or happen to know someone who has just published their first app ever, differentiating the app in the mobile app market can be challenging. One major thing that differentiates your app from others is creating in-app chat functionality.
