CLUSTER COMMUNICATION-GROUP-MESSAGING · 31 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-10-21

Real-time messaging apps

This cluster comprises real-time messaging applications that support direct and group chats, media sharing, and voice/video calls. The dated entries are sparse from 2017 to mid-2025, then become more frequent from late 2025 through mid-2026, with the latest pre-index entries in July 2026. Traction is led by CHAT with 8 stars, while other members have zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
