Messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, and WeChat have changed the way we communicate with each other. They help us stay connected with family and friends wherever they are.

In April 2020, cloud-based mobile messaging app Telegram reported over 400 million monthly active users worldwide.

Simply put, messengers are more popular than ever. So, now is the best time for you to build your own messaging app like WhatsApp or Telegram (or better)!

Follow these simple steps to create a super cool new chat app.

Step 1: Research the market and determine what problem your app will solve.

Step 2: Determine the best app business model to effectively monetize your app.

Step 3: Hire an app development team experienced in developing messaging apps. WhatsApp and Telegram.

Step 4: Build the architecture of your app.

Step 5: Build an excellent design for your messaging app.

Here are the essential features you must include in your app:

• Sending Text Messages
• Sending Media Files (photos and videos)
• Sending Audio and Video Messages
• Exchange of Live locations
• Sending Contact Cards

Now, the big question is how much it will cost to build an app like WhatsApp or Telegram. Well, calculating the overall cost of developing a messaging app isn't an easy task. Nevertheless, the approximate cost to develop a chat app can be around $50,000 to $60,000 per platform (Android and iOS). However, the cost can vary depending on the project needs, complexity, features, and functionality you want in your app.
If you are wondering how to create your own messaging app, here are the steps to bring your app idea into reality.
Several factors can affect the cost of developing a messaging app, including technical complexity, devices, and OS, UI, development company's location (obviously, a US-based development company will charge more than one in Eastern Europe or India), etc.

The total cost of a WhatsApp-like app for two platforms (iOS and Android) may vary from $110K to $160K.

This is one of the best books that I've read most recently. I know, I say that a lot. In my defense, before requesting anything at Netgalley, I read that blurb carefully and make sure it IS something that appeals to me. Life is too short to read books you do not like! This is why I now embrace the DNF (did not finish), whereas this time last year, I'd trudge through the book anyway.Uh, back to the review. The Last Telegram is heart-warming, touching, education, tender, and wise. This is one of those books that I hope many readers will get a hold of and really READ it if they want a good, romantic, and cherish-able story.It is about this young woman, Lily, and the events she experiences and the unexpected challenges she overcomes as she blossoms into womanhood.Like many at the beginning of adulthood/ending of childhood, Lily had not a clue as to what she desired out of life. All she focused on was her desire to move out of the house and away from her parents to a life of travel and leisure. Lily was entirely unprepared for the unexpected events that she comes to face. Oh, but how she faced them!Mainly, the unexpected challenges arise from World War II. Suddenly faced with having to learn the family business, the silk fabric manufacturing processes which was one of the most important part in the military forces well-being in a number of areas. Rather than to cringe and run from it all, she accepts, albeit reluctantly at the start, and gets deeply absorbed into the processes while thinking of it as a minor detour on her way to becoming a worldly traveler.In the process, Lily meets the man of her heart and dreams and falls deeply, infinitely in love. In loving this boy/man, she awakens to the hate and prejudices against a race of people not only in her own country but abroad in Germany. The hate and prejudices are so much so that an entire nation rallies to exterminate the entire race of people from their nation. She cannot fathom this hatred based only on the difference in religion, little differences in the way that these people choose to worship the same God as their own. Lily also learns another kind of prejudice: against those who love the same sex. She learns that they are no different than her, that love is love, and love has no boundaries. The human heart chooses to love who it loves and there is no line that cuts it off. Lily learns that love transcends above all the pettiness, the race, the religion, the sex, everything as the heart does not discriminate.In a period where women weren't widely in the business industries, especially male-dominated areas such as management and manufacturing, Lily comes to achieve and exceed all expectations. This in part is thanks to Gwen, the lesbian artist and the silk plant's production/operation manager. Gwen is one of the strongest characters in Lily's life, helping her to grow and mature into the woman she later becomes.The Last Telegram is a fantastic read, one that I'd like to possess in the physical form for my library collection. (My review copy is electronic from Netgalley). This is one of those books that is a re-readable, one that I would withdraw from the shelves repeatedly for myself, my future daughter, my future granddaughters, etc. to read and discuss with them. It is a moving and emotional book, but there is also much to learn from it such as the silk and the time period of World War II. 5 stars, hands down.

This is the history of the political and diplomatic events that caused the United States to enter World War I. Most of us have a vague recollection from our school text books that the sinking of the Lusitania had something to do with the war. But the Lusitania was torpedoed on May 7, 1915 two years prior to America entering the war in 1917. Furthermore, the Lusitania was a British ship, not American. "Remember the Lusitania" came into existence as a rallying cry after the USA had declared war.

The direction of history is always more unpredictable at the time of the events than they are for the reader of history who has knowledge of subsequent events. All readers of history today know how the story ends so it's easy to presume that there was strong support for entry into the war. Therefore it is difficult to comprehend the strength of the antiwar sentiments within the United States prior to 1917. It is true that there were a number of east coast politicians who favored entering the war. But President Wilson had won reelection in 1916 under the motto "He Kept Us Out Of War!" He won largely because of strong antiwar feelings in the midwestern and western states. As a matter of fact, my grandparents voted for the first time in their lives that year because they felt so strongly that the country should stay out of war.

Suddenly in 1917 the New York Times published the Zimmermann telegram and the mood of the country shifted. Many of the newspapers that had been staunchly antiwar up to that point then changed their positions. This book makes the case that the closest thing to a "Pearl Harbor Event" for WWI was a deciphered secret message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German Minister to Mexico, von Eckhardt, offering United States territory to Mexico in return for joining the German cause. This was a sensitive issue at the time because Mexican-American relations were quite strained. Until January 1917 the United States had nearly 5,000 troops inside Mexico and 110,000 National Guard mobilized for border service because of border violence. The Germans knew this and figured that a war with Mexico would keep the United States out of the European war.

This book tells the story of how the German communication codes were deciphered and how news about the Zimmermann telegram was released in such a way that the Germans wouldn't know that their codes had been broken. Barbara Tuchman suggests that the Germans were so sure of their intellectual superiority that they never seriously considered the possibility that their codes had been broken by others. They instead concluded that a copy of the message had been stolen after it was decoded by German embassy personnel. Tuchman also suggests that if the Germans had simply denied that they had sent the message (i.e. claim that it was a British fake) it is possible that the message wouldn't have been taken seriously. But Arthur Zimmermann decided to acknowledged that he had sent the message. (Speculation as to why he did this could make this review even longer.)

Barbara Tuchman maintains that the telegram by itself was not the cause of America entering the war, but rather it was the straw that broke the camel's back. It's true that the unrestricted submarine warfare may have eventually caused the American entry. Which raises the question, how would history have been different if the Zimmermann telegram had never existed? Tuchmann argues that without the telegram the American entry into the war would almost certainly have been delayed, and such a delay may have changed the war situation on the ground in Europe.
