Here is a list of seven of the best video chat apps that functions perfectly on Android devices.
Launched in the year 2011, WeChat is a Chinese video chatting app founded by Tencent. WeChat is one app that has a teeming number of users in Asia. We can attribute this to the valuable features you can enjoy on the app.
Shortly after its launch, it became China's most dominant and most active social app. WeChat was useful for sending instant messages (IMs) in the past. With the advancement of technology, this app has extended to include more functionality. Some of these features are picture-sharing, sharing voice notes, voice chatting and video chatting.
Besides these features, the WeChat app has upgraded to be more than a fun app. It has become a medium for business owners to advertise their products and services.

Google Duo launched for the sole purpose of video and audio chatting. Google Duo is Google's brain child and it launched in the year 2016.
Similar in chatting functions to FaceTime and WhatsApp, the Google Duo app is easy and free to use. All it requires from you is your phone number and the contacts on your list.
Only people who have your digits can place audio and video calls through to you via Google Duo. That is how simple the Google Duo's interface works.

Also, the Google Duo app is flexible in how it functions. It doesn't warrant that both parties should have the app before they can communicate.

This means no matter how bad the network connection is at your end, you can still make use of the imo app.

And since its development in the year 2006, imo has held its own against top video chatting apps such as Skype.
There is no denying that WhatsApp is the most popular Android messaging app right now in the cyber world . This is because of its easy to operate and "homey" feeling users get while using it.
WhatsApp launched in 2009 as a messaging app, but after Facebook acquired it, it evolved into a super app. It now boasts of rich audio and video chatting features. With it, you can make and receive audio and video calls from your friends and family members.
