WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging client on not only Android but all mobile platforms including iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian, and even Nokia’s proprietary S40. WhatsApp has been rolling out new features every few months in order to keep the users interested. Other messaging clients like WeChat, LINE, Hike, etc. have tried to overtake that user base but they are not able to do so.

We feel that WhatsApp on Android gives that best experience when compared with iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian or S40. Call it Android’s openness which gives the developer that freedom to work and that’s why we have more features on Android. Talking about the features WhatsApp have, do you know that you can have pop-up notifications for your messages? Either it be individual, group messages or broadcasts you can set them manually. This feature on iOS requires a hack which is only available to Jailbroken iPhones. If you want you can enable pop-up WhatsApp notifications by following the simple guide below.
