BlackBerry Messenger & Google Hangouts

 

Although our title says Top 5, we could not decide which Messenger Application should stand in our 5th place in the five best and most popular messaging apps. Hence we shared the fifth place between two major and up-coming applications: the BlackBerry Messenger and GooglePlus Hangouts. So instead of the Top 5 messaging apps, here are two more sharing our 5th place, making them Top 6 best instant messenger applications altoghether.
