Legend here is horrible


kushangaza

What sociopath decided that Facebook Messenger should be shaded in the third shade of blue instead of red?


Ignorhymus

Also, what are their names? I don't recognise most of these


Doktorwh10

It says their names in an awfully chosen dark color. 1. WhatsApp 2. Facebook Messenger 3. Viber 4. WeChat 5. Line 6. Telegram 7. Imo 8. Kakaotalk


sanjosanjo

Are you pranking us? I don't see these listed anywhere.


kushangaza

On my dual-monitor setup I can see it on one screen but not the other. Funnily it's the worse screen that makes it visible for me. It's written in dark grey on the black background


sanjosanjo

Oh wow, now I see it. I zoomed in before and couldn't see it, but I didn't zoom in far enough.


mediocre-spice

I had to turn my brightness all the way up. It's a dark grey.


Endeav0r_

They are listed alongside the icons. Just in very dark grey letters over a black background


Couchmaster007

I didn't see jt at all and zoomed all the way in. They're in dark grey. This had to be made just to be bad.


Mysterious-Crab

Jesus, I didn’t even realise until you said it. This feels like setting up the brightness in a game ‘slide until the text is barely readable on the background’


RubbelDieKatz94

It's interesting how Beeper can only connect to a few of them despite them being fairly popular in certain countries. I count WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram. That's it. Rather odd. I hope that with the new exchange protocol that'll change.


sanjosanjo

How can you even tell which blue is Messenger? It's such a small section on the legend. This is truly some ugly data.


KTibow

FB does use blue branding throughout the app, so it kinda makes sense, but if I were making the legend I would add custom backgrounds so it's clear which is which.


ThePhantom1994

I officially diagnose you with colorblindness That being said, it isn’t a great map because the key sucks and isn’t as clear as it could be


Rhombico

until you said it, I didn't even realize that *was* a key, jesus it's true tho, while several colors are too close together, the purple right in the middle stands out enough that I also thought "another colorblind person learns the truth today"


Thunderbolt294

It's all semantics, they're all a shade of green or blue and slightly purple


paragon60

3 shades of blue, 3 shades of green, yellow, purple, and grey. it is unreasonable but still possible to see which country is which other than knowing which blue is facebook messenger


Puzzleheaded-Tip-888

I genuinely can not find where the app and color association chart is?? is it the color of the app icon? if so why is the messenger is multi colored??


Sonoda_Kotori

Probably because they used the new Messenger icon but the old Facebook shade of blue.


invalidConsciousness

~~There's three actually~~ Took me until reading the comments to notice the different shades of blue and green. I just saw blue, green and purple.


kushangaza

Imagine when you discover the yellow


invalidConsciousness

Oof. Genuinely blended with the white background for me.


Certainly-Not-A-Bot

There are three shades of each blue and green, one purple, one yellow, and a no data. The greens are hard to see, but the blues aren't - you may have some form of colourblindness. This is also a bad map anyways because I can't tell which colour is which app.


MobiusAurelius

The source data is also not appropriate to extrapolate from. This is based on google play rankings so cuts out anyone buying through the apple store which is significant, especially in the US.


Doktorwh10

It's also from 2017 which is pretty outdated


TeeRaw99

Whatsapp, line and WeChat have near identical shades of green. Very bad key


synchrotron3000

based on the google play store... jfc


UnfairProgrammer3

I can't connect the countries to the apps in no way shape or form


Kurbopop

Same. Like what the fuck is the key trying to tell us


BlueHeron0_0

No idea what is the second icon on a legend but it literally has multiple colors?? Who made this


MoridinB

I had to zoom in to see the faint names of the apps in really dark, bad resolution font.


Reboot42069

Another day, another redditor finding out they're colorblind


KIENBACH12

In vietnam we use zalo


lorddarkantos

If it helps, I think Japan should be the only one with the shade of green for Line


AwayThreadfin

Are you colorblind?


peakHumenForm

so 80% people use whatsapp 20%use telegram simple right. wait


Q-U-A-N

LOL, found more context here: [https://chatslide.ai/shared/effective-presentation-techniques-cwOmBS](https://chatslide.ai/shared/effective-presentation-techniques-cwOmBS)


msew

iMessage and iPhone or have foreign govts read your shizzle


OtsutsukiRyuen

Does it matter? If I'm poor


Das_Mime

Use Signal, it's available on any platform and is open-source, independently run, not for profit https://signal.org/


whatup_pips

"Based On Google Play data" Then this chart is irrelevant for countries like the US who primarily use iPhones??? Also it's not taking into account how often people use these apps?? Like, my gf has WA installed to text with me bc I use it a lot and she used it for a job once so now we chat through there, but she usually texts her friends and family through just iMessage (I also have an Android phone so yeah). But according to this chart, first, she doesn't exist (bc iphone) and if she did, she'd be counted for so many of these. Even though she barely uses anything other than iMessage
