How messaging apps 
are changing the way 
we communicate
Once upon a time, the park bench 
underwent a bit of a change. 
Image source
First, it took on the 
form of a mobile 
phone… 
Image source
Then it plugged itself 
into the internet… 
Image source
Finally it emerged as 
a single, always-on, 
friend-powered 
device. 
Image source
Today, 
mobile 
messaging 
is BIG. 
Source 
64 
billion 
daily messages 
on WhatsApp in 
April 2014
And it’s getting more 
complex as new 
apps and tools 
proliferate. 
?
But messaging is going beyond 
just text. 
It’s getting richer. 
Image source
It’s creating a 
‘body language’ layer 
to mobile conversations, 
through pictures, symbols 
and animations. 
Image source
Image source 
The visual web is modelling the 
subtlety of personal real-time 
communications.
Snapchat is still 
our favourite new 
bench… 
Source
But there are others 
on the rise. 
Image source
Apps like Slingshot and Bolt are leading 
the trend of photo-based messaging, 
where what you show trumps what you 
tell. 
Image source
Emojli opens the way to emoticon-only 
conversations, the digital equivalent to a 
universal sign language that crosses global 
boundaries. 
Image sources
Imoji gives you the tools to create your 
own emoji and share them with your 
friends across existing messaging apps. 
Image source
Ultratext is making it ridiculously simple 
to create animated messages by typing 
and uploading photos. 
Image source
Messaging is changing 
digital conversations from 
a static, text-first activity 
to a mobile, visual-first 
habit. 
Image source
What other apps are changing 
the way you communicate?
