Instant Messaging

Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time text communication between two or more people using the internet. It allows users to send text messages, images, and files instantly, making conversations feel immediate and interactive. IM applications, like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Slack, often include features such as emojis, voice and video calls, and group chats. Unlike traditional texting, which relies on cellular networks, instant messaging typically uses internet connections, making it a popular choice for both personal and professional communication.
