Google rumoured to take on WhatsApp with new messaging app

Google is looking to enter the heavily populated messaging app arena with a new product, if reports are to be believed. However, don’t confuse it for Hangouts, though. Google is reportedly creating it to be a standalone product that won’t require a Google login. It’ll be free and will launch in India first before it makes its way to “other emerging markets” next year. If it picks up over there, we won’t be surprised that it’ll make its way to this side of the world.
