What do I need to start up an independent chat app like whatsapp

Question

I really need your help guys

Answer 1

Hi Qaasim Muhammad Akorede! I suggest learning c, c++, Java, Erlang, php. they were used to create the original whatsapp. Also make sure to practice, practice and practice until you get good. After learning a couple of languages you should learn to develop apps using multiple languages.
Happy Coding!
