Messenger was much better than those of currently and you are not prepared to accept it
In a Reddit forum, netizens opened discussion about the nostalgia of talking at MSN messenger and nowadays on WhatsApp. They raised some reasons that prove that MSN was better than the competitor.
6 reasons proving that MSN was better than WhatsApp
1. You could define your availability status in it
In MSN, you could indicate whether or not it was available to chat. Thus, you could put the status of busy, absent, etc.
There was also the fact that no one knew that you were invisible in the messenger. With WhatsApp it is no longer so. People send you message all the time, don’t respect if you are busy with something and want immediate answer.
2. You could make triumphant entrances on MSN
Unlike WhatsApp that the internet leaves the application online all the time, in MSN was different. So you could come in and out dozens of times for everyone (or someone in particular) see that you have arrived at the messenger and are online to talk.
At the time of games it was the moment, because you could do this and put a message in the status for opponents to see that their team scored and celebrating celebrations to bugle the opponents.
3. You could draw attention in a conversation
MSN had a resource that could be attracted to the person you were talking to. The chat screen shaked and signs of exclamation appeared with a sound alert for you to view and answer the person.
It was an endless fun, but nowadays it is not possible to do on WhatsApp.
4. It was possible to show the music you were listening to
MSN was a perfect stage to send indirects, exchange idea with their contacts and use resources that ZAP does not have. One of them that was very dear was to be able to show what song you were listening to at the moment.
You chose the song that reflected your mood of the moment (or passing an indirect) and people could see and hear as well.
5.
It was also possible to have fun with a feature that has no Whatsapp that is playing games.
MSN had several short and fun games that people were very fond of spending time. Thus, there were games like mined field, lady, plaid, puzzle, among others.
6. Send emoticons and animated works
Whatsapp emojis will never overcome the age of MSN’s custom emoticons and Winks.
They were fun animations that filled the entire screen and had a lot of fun communication with a person.
Finally, it was also possible to put shortcuts for emoticons, which today evolved to what we call emojis.
