Almost all applications require that the other end has the same app. The
exception are those apps that follow some public standard. You have to
choose the one app that most of your contacts use, so the choice is not
really yours.

Some apps, such as WhatsApp require the phone to have a phone number
already, for registration at least. Ie, an active SIM card in this case.
