It’s not easy to survive in the space of mobile messaging apps, as there are big players in the industry that will not let anyone to capture the market share of mobile messaging.
It really has proved, because a major technology player, Samsung has decided to discontinue its ChatON messaging service. According to a report from Engadget, Samsung will shut down its ChatON messaging service in all regions except the US from February 1.
A statement issued by Samsung to Engadget states, “On February 1, 2015, ChatON will be discontinued in all markets except the United States, as we strive to meet evolving consumer needs by focusing on our core services.
We remain committed to offering services that cater to our consumers’ lifestyles and add value to their everyday lives.” Despite being a Samsung product, and preloaded on all Samsung Galaxy smartphones, the ChatON messaging app failed to create its position among users.
The company claimed that in 2013 the ChatON app had 100 million users worldwide, but the thing that matters is, how many active users are there who actually uses the app.
But now it’s worthless to talk about the reasons, the final decision is, the ChatON messaging app will be shut down.
