call through a
messenger app.

Different friends use different apps Because of different features
Different features will no longer drive use of
multiple messenger apps.
Q: Why do you use different messaging apps?
Source: On Device Research, Jan 2015
N=2500 , US, UK, Germany, Japan and China smartphone owners
In the US, respondents say
that ‘not having enough space
on their phone’ is the number
one reason why they’re not
using a messenger app
With paying upfront for
handset is common practice
in the US many opt for lowest
(and therefore cheapest)
storage capacity available –
often 16GB with no
expandable memory.
Source: On Device Research, Jan 2015, Which 2014
N=500 , US smartphone owners
Low storage capacity = less apps installed
Q: Why are you not using these messaging apps (one want to use but are currently not using)?
