<p>Samsung has today announced that ChatON, its cross-platform mobile messaging service, has passed 100 million registered users. The company claims it has added 50 million new sign-ups over the last four months.</p><p>ChatON offers free messaging and is available across Android, iOS, Blackberry and Windows Phone, while it comes pre-loaded on "most major" devices in Samung's Galaxy range for example: the Galaxy S4, the Galaxy Note 3 and even its Galaxy Gear smartwatch and the Galaxy Camera. There is also a client for Samsung PCs.</p><p>How does that compare to the competition?</p><p>WhatsApp leads the industry with 300 million monthly active users (its registered user base is unknown but likely much higher), but ChatON is ahead of BlackBerry's BBM (60 million), Kik (80 million) and others. However, Asian rivals WeChat, Line and Kakao Talk are larger in size, based on user numbers.</p><p><a href="http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2013/09/30/samsungs-chaton-messaging-service-passes-100-million-registered-users/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/30/samsung-chaton-messaging-app-hits-100-million-users/">Samsung claims 100 million people use its ChatOn messaging service</a> (Engadget)</p><p><a href="http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-chaton-messaging-service-clocks-in-100-million-users/">Samsung ChatON messaging service clocks in 100 million users</a> (GSMArena.com (blog))</p><p><a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/510129/20130930/samsung-chaton-messaging-application-100-million-users.htm">Samsung&#039;s ChatON Messaging Application Crosses 100 Million User Mark</a> (IBTimes India)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d7DAv9eBl3-b8xM0TsZSUxKUt_WZM&ned=us">31 additional articles.</a></p>
