Everything about Instant messaging
Form of computer communication over the internet or locally
Instant messaging (IM) technology is a type of synchronous computer-mediated communication involving the immediate (real-time) transmission of messages between two or more parties over the Internet or another computer network. Originally involving simple text message exchanges, modern instant messaging applications and services tend to also feature the exchange of multimedia, emojis, file transfer, VoIP, and video chat capabilities.
