Usage share of Instant Messaging clients

Instant messaging is like texting or sending messages to your friends and family, but it's done through a computer or a smartphone.

There are different instant messaging apps, like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Telegram and many others. Each of the apps has a certain number of people who use them.

Usage share of instant messaging clients is like a report card that tells us which instant messaging app is the most popular among people. The usage share is like a percentage that shows what proportion of people use each app.

For example, if 100 people use instant messaging apps and 60 of them use WhatsApp, then WhatsApp has a usage share of 60%. This would mean that WhatsApp is the most popular app among those 100 people who use instant messaging.

Usage share is important because it helps companies and developers to understand which instant messaging apps people prefer to use. This information helps them to make decisions about how to improve the apps and make them better for their users.
