Is There Room Left In The Social Messaging Market? Youth-Oriented Jongla Launches On iOS, Android

unnamed-1WhatsApp, Viber, Yuilop, Facebook Messenger/Poke, Snapchat, and many, many others -- the list of apps in the mobile social messaging space seems endless. But Finland's Jongla thinks there's room for one more. The company, whose legacy is in apps for feature phones, has re-booted with the launch of a youth-oriented and free social messaging app for iOS and Android (along with a HTML5 version), believing that the key to cutting through a noisy marketplace is personalisation. In version one of the app, this manifests itself through the ability to send animated virtual stickers, a fun and beefed up form of emoticons, which is also how the company plans to make money.
