Zalo is a free messaging app for Vietnam
In a free system, everyone has got to compete for survival, for relevance, for a lasting legacy and all. The same also is applicable in the social networking system.
Zalo is a messaging app that allows the user to chat, call and send pictures. It has been around for almost a decade with more than 100 Million users worldwide. Millions of messages, calls, pictures, and videos are being sent through Zalo daily.
The name Zalo was coined from the combination of “Zing” and “Alo” which can be translated for "hello" in Vietnam.
Some apps have already made their mark with distinct features, while some others are still struggling to stand. But no doubt, Zalo is making its mark with giant strides in the social network.
According to eMarketers research, Zalo has managed to beat some well-known apps such as Facebook Messenger, Line, Viber, and even Skype in Vietnam.
Zalo was initially targeted by VNG as an application that supports normal free calling and texting. With time, it upgraded from a messaging app like other social networks to a diary page for users to share their daily status and photos.
It also allows friends of users to like and comment on their posts.
Instead of having to text people separately, you can send messages to multiple people at the same time on Zalo. This saves you time.
